I'd like to create an application using the embedded version of Jetty. Unfortunately, I can't find any information on what jar files I would need to do that. There are several in the maven repository (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jetty/aggregate/). But what's the difference between jetty-server, jetty-server-all, and jetty-webapp? Are any of these what I want for the embedded use case?
