So I start a static web project on eclipse. Let's say MySite. And then I start a jetty web server on eclipse and open localhost:8080 on my browser.
This is what I'll see:
So I go to localhost:8080/MySite/index.html and see my homepage.
As you can see the the link is not leading where it should be.
It should be going to localhost:8080/MySite/index.html, or even more preferable, MySite's index page should be hosted on localhost:8080/index.html and not on some module.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<a href="/index.html">Home</a>
</body>
</html>
If I were to change this to MySite/index.html it defeats the purpose of it being an http preview server, because MySite will eventually be it's own site and not some kind of module.
How to fix this without using a workaround?

As you can see the the link is not leading where it should be. It should be going to localhost:8080/MySite/index.html, but instead it goes to localhost:8080/index.html
That is because you are using a url form that is relative to server's root /.
Simply use a ./(page-relative path) instead of /(server-root-relative path) in MySite/index.html.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<a href="./index.html">Home</a>
</body>
</html>
Hope it helps!
