title: Running eclipse Jetty 9 with Gradle
body: <p>Help running Jetty 9 with Gradle</p>
  
  <p>I have seen references to run Jetty on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8266311/how-to-run-jetty-7-with-specified-war-with-groovy-gradle">how-to-run-jetty-7-with-specified-war-with-groovy-gradle</a> and <a href="http://steveliles.github.com/setting_up_embedded_jetty_8_and_spring_mvc_with_maven.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">setting_up_embedded_jetty_8_and_spring_mvc_with_maven</a></p>
  
  <p>But I want to run the new Eclipse Jetty 9 in Gradle.</p>
  
  <p>I tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>task jetty8Run(type: JavaExec, dependsOn: assemble) {
      main = "org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server"
      args = ["--port", 8080, "--stop-port", 9876, "--stop-key", 'shutterdown', war.archivePath]
      classpath configurations.jetty8
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using this as the dependencies:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jettyEclipse "org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server:$jetty9Version"
  jettyEclipse "org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlet:$jetty9Version"
  jettyEclipse "org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-webapp:$jetty9Version"
  jettyEclipse "org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets:$jetty9Version"
  jettyEclipse "org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-jsp:$jetty9Version"
  jettyEclipse "javax.servlet:jstl:1.2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my gradle.properties:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jetty9Version: 9.0.0.M0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I run, I get the following message</p>
  
  <pre><code>An attempt to initialize for well behaving parent process finished.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the full debug stack trace:</p>
