/**
 * Provides ability to use GWT hosted mode embedded Jetty server during Vaadin widgets development. Thus,
 * frees from the need to run external server instance.
 * <p/>
 * The name of this class should be specified as an argument to the com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode -server parameter.
 * Also JVM argument -Ddev.mode.app.root should point to web application root directory. That is, if -war parameter
 * points to "WebContent/VAADIN/widgetsets" then -Ddev.mode.app.root should be equal to "WebContent".
