  • How can Nginx be only #6 when you know that it’s the third most popular web server ? (http://www.greatstatistics.com/)

    Also… if you mention Jetty, then why not mentioning Tomcat ?

  • Kind of outdated, as it still features Jetty at Codehaus. It is an Eclipse.org project for quite a while now. I wonder, how “Jigsaw” will be doing, once Java 8 is released, and Oracle might think it “owns” the name like Java?;-)

  • can’t agree more with @kubaski, surf dude :D
