Minimum set of files needed from Jetty to serve static content?

Question

Background

Disclaimer: I have very little experience with Java.

We previously used a wrapped version of Jetty 6 for on-demand static content (JS, CSS, images, HTML) during our Ant build so we can run unit tests with PhantomJS against an HTTP-hosted environment.

However, Jetty is now on version 8.1.3 and we no longer need that wrapping (which solves a different problem which is now moot), so I wanted to update to just using Jetty 8.1.3 directly.

First I downloaded the whole Jetty distribution, which weighs in at a massive ~40 MB. This works from Ant, using "start.jar"... but I don't really want to be pushing those unnecessary JARs around everywhere.

So then I downloaded the aggregate "jetty-server-8.1.3.v20120416.jar" (latest) from the Maven repo, BUT I can't seem to use that JAR from Ant like I could with "start.jar", e.g. "java -jar jetty-server-8.1.3.v20120416.jar OPTIONS=Server"

The Jetty documentation is both poor and missing (404's). Ugh!

Actual Question

So, if I go back to using the full distribution of Jetty with "start.jar" instead of the aggregate "jetty-server", what is the minimum set of files (JARs and configs) from the full Jetty distribution that I need to server basic static content over HTTP?

if you don't need things like jetty-jmx or jetty-jndi then just trim those
