Gretty requires JDK7 or JDK8 and Gradle 1.10 or newer (Gradle 3.3 is highly recommended!).

Gretty also works on JDK6, although Jetty support is limited to versions 7 and 8 in this case. This is due to the fact that Jetty 9 was compiled against JDK7 and it's bytecode is not compatible with JDK6.

Gretty is an open-source project and is freely available in sources as well as in compiled form.

All releases of Gretty are available at Bintray
