Maven Jetty Plugin Configuration Guide
In order to run Jetty on a webapp project which is structured according to the usual Maven defaults (resources in ${basedir}/src/main/webapp
, classes in ${project.build.outputDirectory
} and the web.xml
descriptor at ${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
, you don't need to configure anything.
Simply type:
This will start Jetty running on port 8080
and serving your project. Jetty will continue to run until the plugin is explicitly stopped, for example, by a <cntrl-c>
. You can also use the mvn jetty:stop command.
It is extremely convenient to leave the plugin running because it can be configured to periodically scan for changes and automatically redeploy the webapp. This makes the development cycle much more productive by eliminating the build and deploy steps: you use your IDE to make changes to the project and the running web container will automatically pick them up, allowing you to test them straight away.
If, for whatever reason, you cannot run on an unassembled webapp, the plugin also supports the jetty:run-war
and jetty:run-exploded
goals which are discussed below.
More information on each of the goals is available at mvn jetty:run page, mvn jetty:run-exploded page, mvn jetty:run-war page and the Jetty Documentation.
Automatic execution of the plugin
Sometimes, for example when doing integration testing, you'd like to be able to automatically have your webapp started at the beginning of the tests, and stopped at the end rather than manually executing mvn jetty:run
on the command line.
To do this, you need to set up a couple of <execution>
scenarios for the jetty plugin and use the <daemon>true</daemon>
configuration option to prevent jetty running indefinitely and force it to only execute while maven is running.
The pre-integration-test
and post-integration-test
maven build phases can be used to trigger the execution and termination of jetty like so:
- Note: Maven by default looks for plugins with a groupId of org.apache.maven.plugins, even if the groupId is declared differently as above. In order to instruct it to look for the plugin in the groupId as defined, one can set a plugin group in a profile in settings.xml like so:
- Note 2: When running with this configuration, the "stopPort" must be free on the machine you are running on. If this is not the case, you will be getting an "address already in use" from the maven plugin, which appears *after* the "Started SelectedChannelConnector ..." message. If you run with the mvn -X option, you'll see org.mortbay.jetty.plugin.util.Monitor is part of the causing stacktrace.
How to stop the plugin from the command line
The run
, run-war
and run-exploded
goals leave the plugin running indefinitely. You can terminate it with a <cntrl-c>
in the controlling terminal window, or by executing the stop
goal in another terminal window. If you wish to be able to use mvn jetty:stop
then you need to configure the plugin with a special port number and key that you also supply on the stop
Here's an example configuration:
To start:
To stop:
How to configure the plugin
Configuration common to run, run-war and run-exploded goals
Regardless of which jetty goal you execute, the following configuration parameters are common to all. They are divided into configuration that applies to the container as a whole, and configuration that applies specifically to the webapp:
Container Configuration
- connectors Optional. A list of org.mortbay.jetty.Connector objects, which are the port listeners for jetty. If you don't specify any, an NIO org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector will be configured on port 8080. You can change this default port number by using the system property
on the command line. Eg "mvn -D jetty.port=9999 jetty:run". Alternatively, you can specify as many connectors as you like.
- jettyConfig Optional. The location of a jetty.xml file that will be applied in addition to any plugin configuration parameters. You might use it if you have other webapps, handlers etc to be deployed, or you have other jetty objects that cannot be configured from the plugin.
- scanIntervalSeconds Optional. The pause in seconds between sweeps of the webapp to check for changes and automatically hot redeploy if any are detected. By default this is 0, which disables hot deployment scanning. A number greater than 0 enables it.
- systemProperties Optional. These allow you to configure System properties that will be set for the execution of the plugin. More information can be found on them at Setting System Properties.
- systemPropertiesFile Optional. This is a file containing System properties that will be set for the execution of the plugin. They will not override any system properties that have been set on the command line, by the JVM, or in the POM via systemProperties. Available from Jetty 6.1.15rc4
- userRealms Optional. A list of org.mortbay.jetty.security.UserRealm implementations. Note that there is no default realm. If you use a realm in your web.xml you can specify a corresponding realm here.
- requestLog Optional. An implementation of the org.mortbay.jetty.RequestLog request log interface. An implementation that respects the NCSA format is available as org.mortbay.jetty.NCSARequestLog.
Webapp Configuration
- contextPath Optional. The context path for your webapp. By default, this is set to the
from the project's pom.xml. You can override it and set it to anything you like here.
- tmpDir Optional. The temporary directory to use for the webapp. This is set to {
} by default but can be changed here.
- overrideWebXml Optional. A web.xml file which will be applied AFTER the webapp's web.xml. This file can be stored anywhere. It is used to add or modify the configuration of a web.xml for different environments eg test, production etc.
- webDefaultXml Optional. A webdefault.xml file to use instead of the supplied jetty default for the webapp.
As of release 6.1.6rc0, an alternative and more flexible way to configure the webapp is to use the webAppConfig element instead of the individual parameters listed above. With the webAppConfig element, you can effectively call any of the setter methods on the org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext class, an instance of which represents your webapp. The example below shows how to use this element to configure the same parameters as above (but of course there are many more you can set):
Configuration for the jetty:run Goal
The run
goal allows you to deploy your unassembled webapp to jetty, based on the locations of its constituent parts in your pom.xml. The following extra configuration parameters are available:
- classesDirectory This is the location of your compiled classes for the webapp. You should rarely need to set this parameter. Instead, you should set
in yourpom.xml
- webAppSourceDirectory By default, this is set to
. If your static sources are in a different location, set this parameter accordingly. See also Multiple WebApp Source Directory for how to configure multiple source directories.
- webXml By default, this is set to either the variable
} or${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
, whichever is not null. If neither of these are appropriate, set this parameter.
- jettyEnvXml Optional. it is the location of a
file, which allows you to make JNDI bindings that will satisfy <env-entry>, <resource-env-ref> and <resource-ref> linkages in theweb.xml
that are scoped only to the webapp and not shared with other webapps that you may be deploying at the same time (eg by using ajettyConfig
- scanTargets Optional.A list of files and directories to also periodically scan in addition to those automatically scanned by the plugin.
- scanTargetPatterns Optional. If you have a long list of extra files you want scanned, it is more convenient to use pattern matching expressions to specify them instead of enumerating them with the <scanTargets> parameter. This parameter is a list of <scanTargetPattern>s, each consisting of a <directory> and <includes> and/or <excludes> parameters to specify the file matching patterns.
Here's an example of setting all of these parameters:
See also the jetty:run parameter reference.
Configuration for the jetty:run-war Goal
This goal will first package your webapp as a war file and then deploy it to Jetty. If you set a non-zero scanInterval Jetty will watch your pom.xml and the war file and if either changes, it will redeploy the war.
The configuration parameters specific to this goal are:
- webApp The location of the built war file. This defaults to
. If this is not sufficient, set it to your custom location.
Here's how you would set it:
See also the jetty:run-war parameter reference.
Configuration for the jetty:run-exploded Goal
This goal first assembles your webapp into an exploded war file and then deploys it to Jetty. If you set a non-zero scanInterval, Jetty will watch your pom.xml
, WEB-INF/lib
, WEB-INF/classes
and WEB-INF/web.xml
for changes and redeploy when necessary.
The configuration parameters specific to this goal are:
- webApp The location of the exploded war. This defaults to
} but can be overridden by setting this parameter.
Here's how you would set it:
See also the jetty:run-exploded parameter reference.
Configuration for the jetty:deploy-war Goal
This is basically the same as jetty:run-war but without assembling the war of the current module.
Unlike run-war, the phase in which this plugin executes will not be bound to the "package" phase.
For example, you want to start jetty on the test-compile phase and stop jetty on the test-phase.
Here's the configuration:
Running Multiple Webapps
Sometimes you need to deploy a number of webapps, not just the webapp under development. You can do this with the mvn jetty:run
goal by supplying extra contextHandlers
in the pom configuration.
Here's an example of setting up an extra webapp to run in the same jetty instance as the webapp under development:
This would deploy both the webapp under development - unassembled - at the context path "/" and a second webapp at the contex path "/other".
Setting System Properties
You may specify property name/value pairs that will be set as System
properties for the execution of the plugin. Note that if a System property is found that is already set (eg from the command line or by the JVM itself), then these configured properties DO NOT override them. This feature is useful to tidy up the command line and save a lot of typing. For example, to set up Commons logging you would usually need to type:
Using the systemProperty
configuration the command line can again be shorted to mvn jetty:run
by placing the following in the pom.xml:
Note: You can use either <name> or <key> to specify the name of a <systemProperty>. Use whichever you prefer.
Jetty itself has no dependencies on a particular logging framework, using a built-in logger which outputs to stderr. However, to allow jetty to integrate with other logging mechanisms, if an SLF4J log implementation is detected in the classpath, it will use it in preference to the built-in logger.
The JSP engine used by jetty does however have logging dependencies. If you are using JSP 2.0 (ie you are running in a JVM version < 1.5), the JSP engine depends on commons-logging. A default commons-logging logger will be provided by the plugin using a combination of the jcl04-over-slf4j and the simple-slf4j implementation, which logs all messages INFO
level and above. You can override this and provide your own commons-logging delegated logger by following these steps:
- Use plugin <dependencies> add commons-logging and a commons-logging impl such as log4j onto the plugin classpath. Note that if you want the Jetty container log to also be routed to this log, you should also add the slf4j-jcl bridge jar:
- Run the plugin with the system property
:Note: if you are using log4j you will need to tell the log4j discovery mechanism where your configuration properties file is. For example:
If you are using JSP2.1 (ie you are running in a JVM >= 1.5), then rejoice because the JSP engine has no particular logging dependencies.
Logback-Classic as the logging backend for the JSP Engine
How to enable JSP2.0 with JDK1.5
By default Jetty maven plugin loads JSP2.1 libraries with JDK1.5. But some times you need to test web applications which require JSP2.0 (eg. because you are running it inside old JSP and Servler engine like tomcat 5.5 or weblogic 9.x)
Here are the steps which I did to make it happen:

I walked in, asked for gluten free menu. They said I could have a pancake with no toppings because that was the only thing gluten free in the restaurant.
5220 Belt Line Rd, Dallas, TX 75254
I was at the Boca raton area fresh gluten-free pancakes and sausage so good! Some have French toast
1505 William D Tate Ave, Grapevine, TX 76051
Great GF pancakes! The chef was very accommodating and came out and ask questions to get clarification. Not GF environment so questionable for celiac but very accommodating staff.
3322 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, CA 92869
Great place for breakfast or lunch! Yummy pancakes and crepes. Love the blueberry pancakes. Staff is knowledgable and accommodating.
3000 Westgate Mall, Fairview Park, OH 44126
I was thrilled to find a place to get gluten free pancakes! They are excellent and I have never gotten sick. The bacon is awesome as well.
4364 Northlake Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
My waffle the other morning was amazing. I had it with blueberry syrup and fresh whipped cream with no problems at all!
4343 W Northwest Hwy #375, Dallas, TX 75220
There is a gf pancake on the menu, but they are not made in an isolated area. if you have celiac don't trust it.
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
We absolutely love eating here!!! They always do a really good job of taking precautions and the food is so good!!!
7700 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814
They have several varieties of gluten free pancakes. I've had the blueberry and the plain. The blueberry was OK, but the regulate were good--they had a nice texture and I didn't need to put syrup on them for them to be good. I actually couldn't finish them all. The other food they have (eggs, hash browns) were also good.
10000 Fairway Dr, Roseville, CA 95677
Absolutely delicious! The service is so friendly and able to work with you!
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Their GF items are spot on! Delicious food and very friendly service. The hashbrowns are amazing. Omelettes are HUGE and are definitely enough to split. gF Pancakes take care of your cravings for real flapjacks. Great!
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
I reviewed this place on YELP already but I need to get the word out. This location is NOT Celiac friendly, only the OPH in Rosedale is Celiac Friendly. The staff here had NO CLUE about Celiac when I visited this past October. They use the same Griddle for everything, please avoid. Go to Rosedale instead, feel free to ignore me and go anyway but ask them how they separate GF from non-GF and see what they say. You were warned. On the other hand the Rosedale location has a separate griddle and section of GF foods.
5220 Belt Line Rd, Dallas, TX 75254
The gluten free "ancient grains" pancakes were good, not great, and they were the only thing on the menu marked "GF". The waitress told us that the omelets were not gluten free, although she could not tell us why. I ended up getting plain eggs, plain bacon and fruit. If other people in a group want to come back here, I would go, but I'm not going to choose it again.
8903 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33434
I would have given them a 5 star, but this particular location changed their gluten free pancake mix and the pancakes are chewy and gross! Not to mention, the 2 times I have had them since changing the batter, I get sick! I would not recommend this restaurant for people with high gluten intolerance or celiac disease!
1700 W Parmer Ln, Austin, TX 78727
Great pancakes and they get the GF customer. The bacon is amazing as well.
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
Use separate plates for the most delicious GF pancakes!
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
Phenomenal. We are visiting from out of town and are tired of always having to get eggs and bacon at breakfast restaurants. So wonderful to have such a variety of GF pancakes.
2301 N Central Expy #156, Plano, TX 75075
While visiting my daughter in Plano we decided to eat here because it was listed on find me. Well the pancake is GF but cooked on the same griddle as everything else. Ended up eating fresh fruit.
2059 Contra Costa Boulevard, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
Good selections of GF are now marked on the menu including pancakes, crepes, and bread. I chose the naturally GF omelette, so can't verify if the food would have been delivered with the reassuring gluten-free confirmation, but the staff seemed GF knowledgable. Good experience with a large family group.
105 S State Road 7, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33414
My son loves their pancakes and waffle, very casual
14905 Pomerado Rd, Poway, CA 92064
Limited GF items. GF pancakes are delicious. Wish they would do GF waffles though.
1700 W Parmer Ln, Austin, TX 78727
Gluten free pancakes in lots of flavors, I've had bacon and pumpkin so far and I am extremely pleased. Also- no up charge for GF! My hubby says the regular pancakes and omelettes are great too.
1418 E Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA 92805
They were great, I had no problems. I'm super sensitive, ordered the corned beef hash and Pancakes and they were Delicious!
5220 Belt Line Rd, Dallas, TX 75254
Not many products that are GF, but the ones that are have a symbol right on the menu. I think the Ancient Grains GF pancakes taste fantastic! I will come back again.
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Awesome pancakes!!! I enjoyed the Strawberry pancakes and turkey sausage immensely!!! Highly recommend this place, I love they color code the plates so you can be assured your food is gf!!!
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
Maple Grove location has a great gluten free menu. On the actual menu, not a silly xerox copy in a binder, but on the actual menu. The chef knew well about GF and safety and cross-contamination. The waitress was very kind and helpful as well.
7395 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA 22042
Amazing gluten free pancakes. I order the banana and ask for chocolate chips. Heaven.
2851 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306
Amazing pancakes and eggs benedict! Very friendly staff!
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Outstanding! GF pancakes (made from Pamela's mixes) served on a red plate for allergy awareness. Hash browns were not only gf, but crispy and delicious!
17000 Chesterfield Airport Rd, Chesterfield, MO 63005
Several pancakes with a gluten free option. They tasted as good or better than normal pancakes. Great service & great food.
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Best breakfast place to go with a gluten allergy. Almost every dish can be made gluten free with no charge. Crepes are fabulous and so are the hash browns.
1505 William D Tate Ave, Grapevine, TX 76051
The pancakes are so good, and the bacon is thick sliced and wonderful. I eat here often. The sausage patties and links are rolled in flour, but ask your waitress to have them not roll them in flour it takes a couple extra minutes.
2059 Contra Costa Boulevard, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
Gf pancakes were wonderful! They can do gf waffles too. Just allow 15-20 min after ordering before you will get your food. This isn't a great place to go if you're starving to begin with.
420 South San Antonio Road, Los Altos, CA 94022
The waiter had no idea what gluten was and offered to ask the chef but then did not. I ordered an omelette and it was fine, but not great. Atmosphere was mildly unappealing.
105 S State Road 7, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33414
Returned hear again while visiting my grandma. Their gluten free menu is much larger now! Gf Belgian waffles, pancakes, crepes, eggs Benedict and more! The Belgian waffle was incredible!!!! Party our server was great and knowledgeable! Great experience once again.
5148 W 159th St, Oak Forest, IL 60452
please don't go to the ORIGNAL PANCAKE HOUSE...that is known for pancakes full of gluten, and baked omelettes with pancake batter, and cook in a kitchen with muffins, toast, buns, etc...and expect them to be able to cater to a person suffering with celiac's disease...that should be common sense...ijs. but their gluten free pancakes are delicious!
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
I missed eating here and really missed my banana pancakes! I was so excited to eat here this morning with my husband I enjoyed every bite!! YUM! When I ordered I made sure I said that I'm GF first before I said my order.
8601 SW 24th Ave, Portland, OR 97219
Amazing GF pancakes and they added bananas in the batter upon request. Yummy!!!
17000 Chesterfield Airport Rd, Chesterfield, MO 63005
Great menu with lots of GF options
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
I had to go through several different staff before the manager came out to help. They eventually gave us a server who had a better idea of how they cooked the food and certain ingredients. The majority of the GF menu is made with Pamela's products so they all have dairy in them. I was able to have the French toast (GF, DF) because they use GF bread dipped in an egg batter. If you only have to avoid gluten then this is a great option.
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Very accommodating! No up charge for GF substitutes!
817 Bloomfield Ave, West Caldwell, NJ 07006
They no longer use a separate pan for gf pancakes. If you have Celiac or a severe gluten sensitivity, not a good choice for you.
17000 Chesterfield Airport Rd, Chesterfield, MO 63005
I've been to the chesterfield valley location several times. The gluten free pancakes were delicious! I wasn't sure about the syrup but the server mentioned that his mother was gluten intolerant and it didn't bother her. This made me a little nervous as a celiac, but I've had it several times without any side effects.
7700 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814
So many gluten free pancakes I couldn't eat them all. Yummy! I ordered pure maple syrup too. Extra cost but worth it. Military discount was surprise bonus!
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
This restaurant was very knowledgable about gluten free items and cross contamination! The food was absolutely delicious and very filling! Very impressed!!
5900 S University Blvd, Greenwood Village, CO 80121
They used bob's red mill mix and can do quite a few different toppings.

While the media often reports on foods that "prevent cancer" and we would love to be told that eating one particular food will prevent cancer, it is unlikely that such a food exists. It is more likely that a combination of good foods may have a preventive effect. Studies over the years have looked at our diets and what foods, if any, will lead to a lower risk of cancer. Fruits and vegetables, whole grains and unprocessed foods have all been promoted as reducing cancer risk. Unfortunately, studies have not consistently proven this to be true. Expert panels state that a diet high in fruits and vegetables "probably" reduces cancer risk, but we just don't know for sure.
However, a healthy diet plays an important role in a sort of "triangle" of cancer prevention. A healthy diet, combined with regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight has been shown to reduce cancer risk. This triangle is thought to be the second most important step, after not smoking, to preventing cancer.
While what we eat is probably linked to cancer development, being overweight and having a diet high in fat is clearly related to the development of certain cancer types. These include breast cancer (in post menopausal women), cancers of the colon, endometrium (uterus), esophagus and kidney. Evidence is highly suggestive that excess weight also increases the risk of cancers of the pancreas, gall bladder, thyroid, ovary, cervix and prostate, multiple myeloma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Body weight is evaluated using body mass index or BMI, which is your body weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters, squared. Experts define a healthy BMI to be 18.5-25 kg/m2, a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2 to be overweight and a BMI over 30 kg/m2 to be obese.
The third part of the triangle is physical activity, which studies have found can reduce the risk of cancers of the breast, colon, prostate and endometrium (uterine). How much activity are we talking about? Experts feel that somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes per day of "moderate to vigorous" activity is needed to impact cancer risk. A moderate activity is the equivalent of a brisk walk, whereas vigorous activities increase heart and breathing rates. Wonder how to get started with an exercise regimen? Make it fun and set reasonable goals. Find a friend to be a walking partner- you can motivate each other and make the walk more enjoyable. Vary the setting; try a park or public garden, use the mall when weather is bad, get creative and keep it interesting! Want to pick up the pace? Look into local gyms and workout groups, yoga, pilates and swim clubs or YMCAs. Start with an attainable goal- if you haven't ever exercised, a walk through the neighborhood is a start. Keep increasing your intensity (walk faster, carry weights) and/or distance over time. You may want to discuss your plans with your healthcare provider to be sure your exercise plan is safe for you. Get started by learning more at the American Cancer Society and LIVESTRONG.
As you can imagine, healthy weight, physical activity and a good diet are inter-related and one can often lead to another. If anything in your profile linked to the triangle is concerning, it will be discussed below.
A healthy diet, regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight have been linked to a lower risk of developing cancer. These three components make up the "cancer prevention triangle". They are strongly inter-related and working to improve one can often lead to improvements in another. Use the links below to learn more about this prevention triangle and ways to work towards a healthier you.

I personally felt that the documentary was mediocre at best. It was not represented fairly in many areas, why didn't they interview a disfellowshipped and refellowshipped guy, why didn't they include someone who was ex'ed and refellowshipped again? They made it out like we were horrible, yet on the other hand they did represent some things VERY WELL. Why didn't they call the "Authors" what they were, "Anti-Mormons" or "LDS Authors".
Some of the things were very accurate, and some of the things were fuzzy. Joseph Smith being called a man with a huge sexual appetite with many promiscuities. Why didn't they name those he had affairs with? It's the same old story with the "Anti's" as always, accusations without facts. Scale of 1-10, about a 3.5! Keith Wilson
I was inspired...As a mostly inactive member in the church, yet believing member. Somewhat focused on to much on controversy, would have liked to see all the positive. Mel Shepherd
I thought it shed some good light on the church, however, I also thought there was too much time given to that bitter woman who was excommunicated. no name
Considering the program: They left out the greatest proof of the Book of Mormon; the references to the "other sheep" found in John 10:16 and 3rd Nephi 15:21-24. As a missionary, we always showed these to people searching after the truth. Ryder C. Waring, Holladay, Utah
As an active member of the "Mormon" church my feelings after watching the 4 hour segment is one of disappointment and sadness mixed with anger. Mostly of what has been omitted - the goodness of most church members - the fact that our Heavenly Father thru Jesus Christ is directing his work here on the earth - that thru the priesthood members can be blessed from Him according to their needs and faith - that many senior couples are using their retirement time and funds to further this work and help people of all nations and religions without expecting anything in return; and in many countries without mentioning religion - the mention of General Conferences twice yearly that encourage all that is good and can strengthen our lives - the hard work of young elders was negative and did not report any wonderful results of their labors except leaving doubts about everything connected with our "restored" church and its beauty. Having dissidents expressing their own unhappiness with the church - temple recommends and leaving the feeling that acquiring one is expecting too much of a member. This documentary only made me feel that the scriptures stating that the last days will be full of good vs. evil has certainly arrived. Pat Dymock , Orem, Ut.
1. It was a dark presentation. Joseph spoke of light. The director didn't get it.
2. The 3 and 8 witnesses to the B of M were not mentioned. Why? Very important.
3. The Nauvoo Temple & the urgency those members felt to receive their endowments before the trek west, and the spiritual strength it gave them was not mentioned. No understanding!
4. The Mtn. Meadows Massacre was a terrible thing, but so was Haun's Mill. There is a great parallel therein, but no concern shown over the Missourians having to live with their atrocity. Only the Mormons. Why?
5. Pres. Hinckley stated "There is no such thing as a 'Fundamentalist Mormon'." The writers still used that term in the very next segment. My opinion is that more people will now believe polygamy is a part of the church. Note the response you had from Pat LoGiudice in the paper this morning.

I had no problems with manjaro running it in VB, so perhaps this is the version i will finally test on bare metal.
Phoronix: Manjaro 0.8.7 Has New Pacman Front-End
Manjaro 0.8.7 was released this morning, the latest update for the very nice and easy to use Linux distribution derived from Arch Linux...
I had no problems with manjaro running it in VB, so perhaps this is the version i will finally test on bare metal.
Typo, the XFCE manager uses Pamac 0.7.5.2 as it's frontend. Pacman is up to 4.1.2, it would be bad if they used 0.7.5.2 of that.
I might have to take a look at octopi when I get home. I personally use pacmanXG4, which is a pretty great program, but I'm willing to see if there are better alternatives.
Manjaro not only offers the shipped 3.4.59 kernel, we also have these kernels in choose from: 126.96.36.199, 3.9.11, 3.10.9 and 3.11-rc6. It was planned to ship Manjaro 0.8.7 with linux 3.10 series. Due issues and bug-reports we had to choose the stable 3.4 kernel. All other kernels can simply be installed with mhwd-kernel, our tool to manage multible kernels at the same time. Simply callto get the latest kernels by upstream.Code:sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux310
Octopi is a great software to manage our binary packages and PKGBUILDs you can get from AUR. Arnt did a great job on this one. Since the Manjaro community helped him a lot, he joined the team to get his software and other tools for Manjaro even better done. Pamac is still there. We gave it a new optical design and some new features. Now it is possible to manage our kernels also with pamac. Simply choose the kernel you want to install and pamac will additionally add missing extramodules if installed by a previous kernels. This way you won't hang on a reboot to start up Manjaro due missing for example the propritary Nvidia driver.
And if you don't like the default spins you can use ManjaroISO and spin Manjaro to your liking by yourself. Just use the provided profiles, some you might find in our git-repos, and customize them. With sudo buildiso in the profile folder you will get a new iso-image you can use to install Manjaro. Just take a look at our wiki and forum to get more information about it. We even provide video tutorials.
I hope you will enjoy this great release
Well, Octopi seems a great GUI, but it's using yaourt. I find packer a lot more useful in many ways and less buggy, but of course it needs lots of things to improve. I'm not interested in GUIs too, it's not my style.
Archlinux is having a managing problem these days, because there's too many AUR and pacman helpers. Yet they are incomplemete in one form or other. Pacman needs to support AUR packages and evolve.
I liked Clyde, but the project abandoned it. The reason was about too much undocumented API changes.
I tried Owl+Cower, but it's a bit problematic as well. It looks promising.
I want the advantages of stuff like Powerpill, Bauerpill (delta downloads, check fastest mirrors, segmented downloads from a big bunch of them to get max speed, install and compile stuff while downloading to not waste time...) and a fast searching in a single command line app. It would be nice to be able to autocheck updates, compile latest AUR pacakges and have them reasy to be installed by the user
Seriously, is it impossible to have a Linux distribution with the best of binary package manament and source code package management into one plus a nice community with a big wiki?
AUR is annoying for a reason, because it's dangerous. When you install something from AUR, you are supposed to review PKGBUILDs and *.install for malicious code, check if download adresses are right, etc. Basically, you are supposed to know what you are doing and to be fully aware of what is being done. Having a frontend that installs stuff from AUR automatically is an enormous potential security hole, that's why Arch devs do not support any of them.
I usually install uncommon software for different reasons (hardware devices, bleeding edge syndrome, weird software I like to use...), and the AUR flexibility helps me to install it. But sometimes this flexibility adds some maintenance problems, because AUR package managers don't check about missing libraries when rebuilding or reinstalling things (for example) and other issues I usually have.
I liked Gentoo and other source-based distributions with a great source code package manager on top of it, and they were quite customizable. But sometimes you need something in a faster way to get installed, and using source code only can make things a bit slow to deploy (an embedded system, a server, an old computer...).
I agree about security holes, but that's why AUR is maintained by regular users and at the same time it gives advantages because of community effort. That's different with source based distros, because they have the official ones and the unofficial ones.
Archlinux has a great community of geeks that are even nice with newbies that like to learn, but I miss things from other distros too.
Ive been trying Manjaro OpenBox on my netbook for the past week and it is not user friendly or ready yet. Dont know about this new release, havent seen this new package manager thing.
I like it, the openbox spin is quite impressive
question-> boot parameter to ignore my HD
tried them all, none worked.

Marijuana bill may include plantsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | April 04,2013Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on proposed legislation to decriminalize posession of small amounts of marijuana.MONTPELIER The more than decade-long push for marijuana reform in Vermont looks poised to culminate this year with the passage of legislation that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of the drug.
But while passage of a bill seems increasingly likely, lawmakers are still debating its details. And on Wednesday, Attorney General William Sorrell urged the House Judiciary Committee not only to eliminate criminal sanctions for possession of an ounce or less of cannabis, but to consider allowing Vermonters to grow one or two plants without fear of prosecution.
If you take away the ability to grow your own, youre pushing someone who wants to possess and use marijuana into the marketplace of having to deal with marijuana dealers, Sorrell said. And is that the behavior you essentially want to require and foster?
The question looms large over a decriminalization debate that has split the law enforcement community. Advocates of the legislation, which, as currently written, would allow the cultivation of up to two mature plants and seven immature plants, say the consequences of criminal convictions are unnecessarily harsh.
While only a small fraction of people convicted of misdemeanor marijuana possession will ever see the inside of a jail cell, Chittenden County States Attorney TJ Donovan said the collateral consequences can be life-changing.
Criminal convictions, even for misdemeanor crimes committed at a young age, Donovan said, can ruin eligibility for everything from federal student loans to public assistance programs.
When people cant go to school, cant get a job, cant get housing it adds to the corrections budget were all trying to reduce, Donovan told lawmakers. How do you ask someone to get employment or go to school when a conviction prevents that?
Commissioner of Public Safety Keith Flynn provided another high-profile endorsement. The former Orleans County states attorney offered support for a bill that would replace criminal sanctions current law calls for up to six months in jail and a $500 fire for first offenses with a $100 fine.
Just because Vermonters arent frequently being sentenced to jail for small-time marijuana offenses, Flynn said, doesnt mean they arent distracting law enforcement and prosecutors from more pressing public safety problems. Between making the arrest, writing the affidavit, filing the charges and negotiating a plea deal, Flynn said, all of a sudden were spending a great deal of money on this offense.
According to statistics provided by the Vermont Center for Justice Research, of the 5,716 people convicted of misdemeanor marijuana possession between 2008 and 2012, 472 were sentenced to incarceration. Nearly 400 landed on probation, and 1,248 had to pay a fine. The data do not distinguish between cases that were standalone offenses and those that were part of a package of charges.
When we look at the resources being expended throughout this process, that certainly should cause us pause to ask, Is this the most effective way to be dealing with this issue? Flynn said.
Steve McQueen, chief of the Winooski Police Department and president of the Vermont Association of Police Chiefs, said expenditure of police resources on smaller-time crimes like marijuana possession allows for the kinds of early interventions that can prevent more serious criminal activity.
McQueen said people charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession in his jurisdiction rarely are convicted, let alone sent to jail. But he said the hammer of prosecution gives his officers the leverage they need to get offenders, often younger ones, on the straight and narrow.
They may not (otherwise) participate in any of the things we put forward to help them better understand the consequences of their behavior, McQueen said.
Essex County Sheriff Trevor Colby, who spoke to lawmakers Wednesday in his role as president of the Vermont Sheriffs Association, said eliminating criminal sanctions for marijuana possession will send a clear message to Vermonts youth that smoking pot is OK.
Youre passing a bill that creates the perception that youre legalizing marijuana, Colby said.
In a state with the highest rates of marijuana use in the country among adults age 18 to 25, according to results from the latest Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Colby said the state cant afford to relax oversight of the drug.
Rep. Chris Pearson, lead sponsor of the bill, said the high usage rates testify to the futility of Vermonts current approach. The legislation, as drafted, would require anyone under the age of 21 who is cited for possession to undergo an intervention, similar to the one teenagers have to complete after being cited for possession of alcohol.
As for adults, Pearson said, recreational use of marijuana isnt necessarily symptomatic of a drug problem.
Not everyone who drinks a glass of wine at dinner should be treated as an alcoholic, said Pearson, a Burlington Progressive. And not everyone who smokes marijuana needs substance-abuse treatment.
Rep. Bill Lippert, a Hinesburg Democrat and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, indicated Wednesday that the committee would likely drop from the bill the provision that would decriminalize cultivation of a small number of plants. But that was before Sorrells testimony on the topic, which Lippert said came as a surprise.
Flynn said he opposes the inclusion of plants. He said experienced growers can yield as much as a pound per plant, which would, upon harvest, put the person in violation not only of the decriminalization limits, but of the two-ounce threshold at which possession becomes a more serious crime.
It would walk you into a felony, Flynn said.
Sorrell, however, said that beyond preventing people from patronizing drug dealers, the grow-your-own provision could help with quality control.
If youre concerned about the higher and higher THC content of plants through genetic engineering and such, possibly the grow-your-owns would be a more benign, less potent strain, depending on what the person wanted, Sorrell said.
Lippert said he isnt under any illusions that marijuana isnt a potentially harmful drug. Its for that reason, he said, that he opposes another bill introduced this year that calls for marijuana legalization.
If sufficiently marketed and promoted, I believe we could have widespread negative impacts, he said.
But he also said the potential for harmful effects isnt reason enough to scuttle decriminalization. Alcohol, he said, is responsible for far more societal damage and can be purchased by anyone over 21 at a convenience store.
The legality of a particular substance is not always a measure of its potential harmful impact on our society, Lippert said.

Fem Shepherd is good but the boots do not suit well with the outfit yet still deserves a credit for the effort
Wow, where have all the photogs been hiding the Steampunk Buzz Lightyear? I looked at a lot of galleries after comic-con and that didn't turn up.
This picto-article made me feel extremly better about myself and I feel a little cooler then I did when I woke up this morning..
Yo, Link 4 is the best link costume i think ive ever seen. that is one legit looking costume...down to the fine details! not only does he have the official replica sheild & sword (although the sword isnt in the sheath) but he's got a pouch for the ocarina off his belt and two red potions hanging off the belt also! The gloves/boots/gauntlets/chainmail & clothing all are movie quality material as well! If there would ever be a live action zelda movie for real...i'd want Link to look like this. It helps that the green of his tunic isn't as bright/bold as in the games. That always looks pretty corny in real life cosplay.
someone needs to tell Camilla Luddington that a skirt is worn at the waist, not up around her belly.
I am using Firefox with Adblock Plus, which shows the flash URL.
I copied and pasted it to a new tab on Firefox and that worked for me! Hope that helps.
anyone noticed john davison in camilla luddington shot ??, that creepy look on his face , i LOLed so hard
Just so we are clear. This character is from a new digital comic book set to arrive on the market this September and the name is not Znomaly. It is Anomaly. Thanks. Check us out at www.GDAnomaly.com.
That Camilla Luddington cosplay is awesome. Dunno which game Camilla Luddington is from though.
am i a creep for using 360 cam to check out the buttocks of the chicks in the tight costumes? LOL
@WCK619 A woman's waist IS around her belly, typically at the level between bellybutton and the bottom or the ribs. That is called a "waist skirt" or "high waist skirt" and is specifically made to be worn like that.
~And now you know. And knowing is half the battle!~
@coolman031089 it's not exactly a cosplay , she is Camilla Luddington. don't know why she didn't show up in a tomb raider costume
Right, because Hollywood actresses are well known for their total lack of fashion sense and whatever kids wore when you were in high school will be the fashion forever.

does it have a herd plastic screen cover?
Hello, papagib. Hope your day is going well. There is no hard, plastic screen. However, according to reviews, this cover is sufficient in protecting this device. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
No. I recycled the one from my old case, but the value makes the case well worth it. Just trim a screen protector to fit. The gel fits inside the plastic case so that it doesn't get loose and the color is bright. Protects as well as my old $30+ case and is slimmer; which makes it fit better in my pocket.
No....it is the most inferior product that you can imigine....very poorly built
Per Proposition 65 does this product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm?
Hi faan, no it does not otherwise we would need to specify as such in the product details. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
