Configuring Multiple WebApp Source Directory

available since jetty-6.1.12.rc2 and jetty-7.0.0pre3

It can be configured by passing Resource[], String[], or String (csv) in the constructor.
The primary resource(first in the list) is the main resource.

WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes are merged.
This basically means your dependent classes on webappA will be available in the classpath for webappB.
This feature enables webapp overlays.

Configuration in context.xml

Configuration in jetty-maven-plugin

When maven fails to dependency-inject overloaded resources, use:
<resourcesAsCSV>src/main/webapp,target/foo,E:/my/other/source,/home/johndoe/path/to/my/other/source</resourcesAsCSV>

Note that for the other webapp sources, you can add them to the plugin's extra scan targets for dynamic reload.

Example

Scenario:
Configuration:

<resources>webappY/src/main/webapp, webappX/src/main/webapp</resources>

Output:

Overlays

available since jetty-6.1.12.rc3 and jetty-7.0.0pre4

When using mvn jetty:run, you don't need to configure anything.
Just add a dependency like:

If configured manually, it would look like:

The order of the overlays depends on how you arrange the war dependencies in your pom.xml (top to bottom)
