Bug#356067: Configuration option not to start jetty and/or package split

[Loïc Minier]

Package: jetty
Version: 5.1.5rc1-6
Severity: wishlist

        Hi,

 It would be nice to be able not to start Jetty.  I installed the
 package to get Jetty's jars (org.mortbay.jetty.jar, jetty.jar), and I'm
 not interested in the default Debian daemon.  This is to embed jetty in
 another application.

 A configuration option in /etc/default/jetty, potentially handled via
 debconf, would be nice.

 However, it might be more sensible to create some libjetty*-java
 packages, reflecting one of the uses of Jetty: embedding a server in
 other applications.  I suppose the HTTP part and the WebApp part should
 be split in different packages too.

   Bye,
