Hi i have the following configuration. 

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>8.1.3.v20120416</version>
</plugin>

and in my jetty-env.xml I have 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd">
<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
</Configure>

When i run with mvn jetty:run i get the following error. 

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppCont

I suspect you have a jetty-web.xml or some old jetty configuration files floating around

org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext = org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext

the packaging is different in jetty7 and 8 since we moved to the eclipse foundation a few years ago.

  • Thanks but now I get this exception Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object of class 'org.mortbay.jett y.plugin.JettyServer' is not of type 'org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext'. – Chun ping Wang May 09 '12 at 13:52
  • assuming that space in 'jett y' above is an error in just your comment, what file are you processing here? is it a jetty-web.xml in your WEB-INF directory, an old context.xml file or something else? – jesse mcconnell May 09 '12 at 14:35
  • their is no jetty-web.xml just plain web.xml like fro tomcat. – Chun ping Wang May 10 '12 at 03:23
