Preparing your Raspberry Pi board

Before going in too deep, let's prepare our Raspberry Pi board by installing the Jetty server for projects that will be discussed in this chapter.

Installing and configuring Jetty servelet engine

Jetty servlet engine is a lightweight server component that can be used to host web applications. Jetty servlet engine consumes less memory than an Apache server and it is great for saving resources on the Raspberry Pi.

You can learn more about Jetty by visiting http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/. It includes documentation, downloads, a Maven plugin, Eclipse tooling, mailing lists, Javadocs, tools, blogs, and much more that can help you to learn to use Jetty in your projects.

The following steps will guide you through installing and configuring...
