How to start and stop Jetty from Ant. Two versions: one using Ant Contrib, one without.
<!--
***********************
A more-correct version of the Ant script bits outlined on this blog post:

NOTE: This file's macrodefs use task definitions from the Ant Contrib library ("if", "then" and "else", in particular).
If you are not using the Ant Contrib library, you cannot use this version of the file.

PhantomJS: Conceptual implementation of a short-term shim to establish the window.postMessage API for IPC

Topic

Providing an inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism such that a WebPage can explicitly signal back to PhantomJS as a push, thus eliminating/minimizing the need for users to setup polling functions, etc.

In PhantomJS 1.6, @detro added a WebPage onCallback handler that could be triggered from a webpage client by invoking the specially attached window.callPhantom function. However, @ariya expressed some discontent with this approach and so the three of us began discussing utilizing an existing API for cross-domain messaging instead: window.postMessage. (See Discussion for more info.)

Problems

PhantomJS currently only allows for a single handler per signal (a separate problem I'm working on over here). As such, automatically attaching internal handler may prevent users from attaching their own handlers for onInitialized (tha
