How to enable HTTPS in GWT's Jetty?

Question

How can I enable HTTPS in Jetty, which comes with GWT?

Answer 1

Hi I think this can help some people there, I also use GWT and we were required to use HTTPS.

Basically we run gwt using maven, so the command is something like this to enable https.

gwt:debug -Dgwt.style=PRETTY -Dgwt.server=:ssl

And this is how my pom.xml section of the plugin looks like when running using jetty:run-war or jetty:run.
