Developers have long loved Jetty due to its history of being easily embedded in devices, tools, frameworks, application servers, and modern cloud services. Jetty serves the primary applications for billion-dollar companies, lurks in many cloud services, and has been involved in missions to Mars and on devices floating in the oceans of Earth. We are continuously astounded at the places where Jetty has appeared.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Many documentation resources are available, including an operations guide and a programmer’s guide, all accessible from the <a href="docs/">Documentation</a> page.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sect1"> <h2 id="about-jetty"><a class="anchor" href="#about-jetty"></a>About Jetty</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="sect2"> <h3 id="where-has-jetty-called-home"><a class="anchor" href="#where-has-jetty-called-home"></a>Where has Jetty called home?</h3> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The Jetty project has found its home in many places over the last 20+ years.</p> </div> <div class="sect3"> <h4 id="eclipse-and-github"><a class="anchor" href="#eclipse-and-github"></a>Eclipse and Github</h4> <div class="paragraph"> <p>In 2009, the Jetty project moved its core components to be a project of the Eclipse Foundation to improve the IP processes and broaden the licensing and community of the project. Beginning with Jetty 9, the project was moved to the Eclipse Foundation. Additionally, in 2016, the project moved the canonical source and issue repository to Github.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect3"> <h4 id="codehaus"><a class="anchor" href="#codehaus"></a>Codehaus</h4> <div class="paragraph"> <p>In 2005, the jetty project moved to The Codehaus for its hosting services and open-source community. In 2009, after the core components of Jetty moved to Eclipse, the Jetty @ codehaus project continued to provide integrations, extensions, and packaging of Jetty.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect3"> <h4 id="sourceforge"><a class="anchor" href="#sourceforge"></a>Sourceforge</h4> <div class="paragraph"> <p>From 2000 to 2005, the Jetty project was hosted at sourceforge.net, where versions 3.x, 4.x and 5.x were produced.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sect2"> <h3 id="who-has-funded-the-development-of-jetty"><a class="anchor" href="#who-has-funded-the-development-of-jetty"></a>Who has funded the development of Jetty?</h3> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The development of the Jetty project has been fully funded over the years through close collaboration with many wonderful clients.

Webtide is now 100% developer-owned and operated and fully funds the ongoing development of the Jetty project through services and support for the open-source releases of the Jetty project.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect3"> <h4 id="intalio"><a class="anchor" href="#intalio"></a>Intalio</h4> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The role of the development of Jetty was taken over in 2009 by Intalio, Inc., who acquired both Webtide and Mort Bay. Intalio was a company that offered both products and services based on open-source software. They employed many jetty developers and contributors in addition to other open-source and closed-source platforms.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect3"> <h4 id="webtide-2"><a class="anchor" href="#webtide-2"></a>Webtide</h4> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The role of leading the development of Jetty was taken over in 2006 by Webtide LLC, formed as a joint venture between Mort Bay and partners providing marketing, sales, and strategic assistance to the open-source project.</p> </div> </div> <div class="sect3"> <h4 id="mort-bay"><a class="anchor" href="#mort-bay"></a>Mort Bay</h4> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The Java HTTP server that became Jetty was initially developed in 1995 by Greg Wilkins of Mort Bay Consulting as part of an issue-tracking application. Versions 1.x through to 6.1.x of Jetty were developed under org.mortbay packaging and Mort Bay still hold the central part of the copyright on the Jetty code base. Mort Bay directly hosted the jetty project until version 3.x and was the prime sponsor of development until 6.x.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </main> </div> <footer class="footer"> <div class="footer-main"> <figure class="footer-brand"> <a class="logo" href="https://jetty.org"><img src="./_/img/jetty-logo.svg" alt="Eclipse Jetty" height="46" width="160"></a> </figure> <ul class="footer-brand-links"> <li><a href="docs/index.html">Docs</a></li> <li><a href="support.html">Support</a></li> <li>Lists: <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-users/maillist.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">users</a> - <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-dev/maillist.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dev</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Source</a></li> </ul> <p class="footer-brand-follow"> <a href="https://twitter.com/JettyProject" title="Follow us on X" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="./_/img/x-logo.svg" alt="X logo" class="logo" width="24"><span class="handle">@JettyProject</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="footer-legal"> <p>Copyright 漏 2008-2025 Webtide</p> <p>The <a href="https://github.com/jetty/jetty.website" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UI for this site</a> is derived from the Antora default UI and is licensed under the MPL-2.0 license.
