Launch the jetty server

public class JettyLauncher {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  SocketConnector connector = new SocketConnector();
  connector.setPort(9090);
  WebAppContext firstHandler = new WebAppContext();
  firstHandler.setContextPath("/my-webapp");
  firstHandler.setWar("./skade-web/src/main/webapp");
  Server server = new Server();
  server.addConnector(connector);
  server.setHandler(firstHandler);
  try {
    server.start();
    Thread.sleep(100000); //Makes sure the server doesn't die
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
