I imagined that the ant plugin fulfilled the Jetty slogan "Don't deploy your application in Jetty, deploy Jetty in your application".
I still believe this has a potential.

It doesn't turn Ant into Http server AFAIK. It simply allows you to
deploy a web app to a jetty server as part of your build process.

If you are wanting to process form posts with Ant in some way, by
passing the content to some targets/tasks, then embedding it is probably
the way to go.

Leafcutter (https://leafcutter.dev.java.net/) might help you with that.

My expectation in the ant-jetty plugin is to turn ant into a http server so that incoming requests could be handled in ant.

What is "http handling"?
Do you want that Ant does the OUTGOING request or handles the INCOMING request? outgoing: - <get> core task
  http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/get.html
- http antlib
  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/sandbox/antlibs/http/
  
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/sandbox/antlibs/http/trunk/docs/http-antlib.html
- external antlibs ...


incoming:
Ant itself is not a HTTP server. But (as Adam has written) you could start one.

How do I get html form input values into, say, ant properties?

Use the <java> task maybe?

<java jar="${jetty.home}/start.jar" fork="true" dir="${jetty.home}">
[...]
</java>

Seen the good work of Jakub Pawlowicz on the ant jetty
plugin, but no
answer to my basic question...
Has anyone tried that?
