How to deploy in a gwt-maven project - maven

Question

first of all, I'm not sure which folders and files i have to deploy in a gwt-maven project
I've got:
.gwt
.settings
bin
src/main/java
target
war
pom.xml
I'm pretty sure, I've to deploy the pom.xml somehow and the target folder. But my target folder doesn't contain a pom.xml which I need for deploying on a jetty server
Second:
I've installed maven on my webserver, but apart from embedding the jetty-maven-plugin in the pom.xml (by
org.eclipse.jetty
jetty-maven-plugin
)
I have absolutely no clue how to get this project running on a jetty server.

Answer 1

have the maven-jetty-plugin included in your pom , under plugins and then you can run it as
mvn jetty:run
thanks

Answer 2

If you want to use maven plugin to run embedded jetty for development then easy way using command-line (which I recommend for start) is:
Edit: Please note this is not related to the existing project.Its process from scratch. Just run these command from a new directory where you would like a new gwt project to be created.
Dowload gwt maven plugin http://mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/. In command line list you can see it as org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin (Maven plugin for the Google Web Toolkit.) I see that you have this plugin in POM, but if you are at loss here the simple steps from command-line to achive this are:
mvn archetype:generate
enter org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin in search prompt
comfirm the resutl with enter
set-up the maven project configuration as prompted
run the project with mvn gwt:run from the folder where you have pom.xml
These two steps will run a sample project for you which you can further modify and experiment while learning how it works.,
As for directories:
The maven compiles all your stuff in target directory and that is used for deployment or running embedded jetty.
