Upgrading the dependency to servlet 3.x in .classpath (<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/thirdparty/_lib/jar/javax.servlet/3.0.1/javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar"/> ), has its own new problems. The server runs, but there's an error when trying to hit localhost:8080:

javax.servlet.ServletContext.getJspConfigDescriptor()Ljavax/servlet/descriptor/JspConfigDescriptor;

@davidmc24: do you know how to fix this?

[davidmc24]

Looks to me like it might still be a classpath issue. I can confirm the initial "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContainerInitializer" error, and it appears to be resolved by switching to the 3.0.1 servlet api jar. It looks to me like it may also be necessary to add guava-13.0.1.jar to the classpath. I didn't encounter the JspConfigDescriptor error.

If you could PR a fix that would be great. I would try killing the entire lib folder, I def. get that error after I navigate to localhost:8080

This has been solved. See housecleaning pull request #95. jdk version switched to 7 as well since jetty 9.x is jdk7.

[hazendaz]

Done.
