Base class for all tasks which deploy a web application to an embedded Jetty web container.

### Properties

Property | Description
`additionalRuntimeJars` | The classpath to make available to the web application.
`contextPath` | The context path to use to deploy the web application.
`daemon` | Specifies whether the Jetty server should run in the background. When `true`, this task completes as soon as the server has started. When `false`, this task blocks until the Jetty server is stopped.
`httpPort` | The TCP port for Jetty to listen on for incoming HTTP requests.
`jettyConfig` | The jetty configuration file to use. When `null`, no configuration file is used.
`reload` | The reload mode, which is either `"automatic"` or `"manual"`.
`scanIntervalSeconds` | The interval in seconds between scanning the web app for file changes. If file changes are detected, the web app is reloaded. Only relevant if `reload` is set to `"automatic"`. Defaults to `0`, which disables automatic reloading.
`stopKey` | The key to use to stop Jetty.
`stopPort` | The TCP port for Jetty to listen on for stop requests.
