Eclipse comes with a Maven plugin, M2Eclipse (also known as m2e) with an embedded version of Maven. We'll use that here for simplicity's sake. Alternatively, you could install Maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.html and use it from the command line ("mvn").
Jetty

Of course, you could use pretty much any other Java servlet container (Tomcat, Glassfish, JBoss, etc), but the instructions that follow assume Jetty.

Maven can download it for you and run it automatically, so you DO will NOT have to download it for this tutorial. (Alternatively, you could download and install the RunJettyRun Eclipse plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace.)
Tapestry
