No way to start the swagger-jaxrs-server

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter a valid swagger 2.0 json spec into the editor
2. Go to Generate Server > JaxRS
3. Download zip and unpack
4. Build the project
5. Run the java -jar swagger-jaxrs-server-1.0.0.jar command

• ISSUE: The server doesn't start. Gives this message:

no main manifest attribute, in swagger-jaxrs-server-1.0.0.jar

Also, the pom does not reference any MainClass

Also, there is no README.md or guide to starting this server anywhere.

Ideally, I'd like to start this in a tomcat container, but it looks like it's intended to have an embedded jetty server, How is this skeleton intended to be used?

Agree that a README would be a good starting on how to use the auto-generated code.

I'll have a look at this - I'm guilty of the latest version of the jaxrs server side gen

There are many ways to start a jetty server. https://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Howto/Run_Jetty
After much trial and error, I figured out that to start the swagger server skeletons you must run the mvn jetty:run command.

p.s. Most people in the java world use Tomcat rather than jetty for actual commercial projects.
