Running Jetty from a custom port through Maven

There are two options:

• pom.xml:

            
                org.mortbay.jetty
                maven-jetty-plugin
                6.1.10
                
                    ...
                    
                    
                        
                            jetty.port
                            8080
                        
                    
                
            

• command prompt: mvn -Djetty.port=8090 jetty:run

The thing to remember is the command line value will override the value in pom.xml.
