A pretty straightforward 'ant' build file. You will need to edit the jetty.home property to indicate where you installed Jetty.

Apache ant build XML. This will use jikes in place of javac. Any compiler error output is formatted so that vim can parse it.

ant is a modern alternative to make. The build script is an XML file. It works particularly well with java. Download it for free from the Apache ant site. Most people find ant a lot nicer to live with than make.
