+# Usage
+
+This Jetty-based WAR/web application booter is configured through a properties files and environment properties. It
+depends on a specific Jetty version.
+
+## Changing the version of Jetty used
+
+Feel free to use Maven's dependency management to override the version that this plugin depend on. Note that it has
+some sets of dependencies. The major one is Jetty itself. This version is reflected in the booter's version itself. The
+rest of the dependencies are based on what the Jetty version itself uses.
+
+If you change the Jetty version you should probably download the Jetty distribution for the new version and make sure
+that the versions of the artifacts that the booter depend on match.
+
# Change Log
+## 8.1.8.v20121106+2
+
+### Support for running web apps from inside a JAR file
+
+Example `booter.properties`:
+
+ context./=classpath:/webapp
+
+Note that because of the current JSP implementation the webapp has to be extracted for the JSP compiler to be able to
+find the files. It also requires a temporary area to write the class files.
+
## 8.1.8.v20121106+1 - 2012-12-20
Upgrading to 8.1.8.
