title: Starting and ending Apache webserver from maven
body: <p>I have an old web project that I'm currently mavenizing. This has been written for Apache httpd, that means a lot of rules are sitting in  lots of .htaccess files (redirects, rewrites) and the pages use server side includes. I tried to use jetty with the HTAccessHandler, but this doesn't care for the rewrites/redirects. I think I now need to get to use httpd to get that properly processed, but is there a way to start apache webserver embedded from maven? Or do you know a java webserver implementation that can handle all the .htaccess properties?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,
  Kai</p>
