Hello, I set up a new webapp maven project and wanted to test it with jetty's maven plugin. So issuded in the console the command: mvn jetty:run

After defining the pluginGroup in Maven's setting file I ran once again the command. Unfortunately, it failed because i was using one of the below mentioned versions of the plugin. The first has artifact id: maven-jetty-plugin and the 2nd:jetty-maven-plugin.

Why there are 2 maven based plugins for achieving the same thing - running jetty? Why do they have to bring so much confusion?

Or be so kind as to explain me the differences between them.

Thank you.
