I'm having problems getting a webapp to start quickly in using the maven jetty plugin in eclipse. I'm using the jetty:run goal.
After turning on the logging the problem seems to be that jetty scans all the jars in my webapp for web app configuration. Just including a dependency to jersey-media-moxy
causes jetty to add 48 seconds to its start up time.
How do I limit this scanning in the jetty-maven-plugin? I've found Jetty startup delay due to scanning but before I make some external jetty configuration and include this is the maven configuration, I want to make sure that there isn't a more straightforward option.
http://eclipse.dev/jetty/documentation/current/quickstart-webapp.html looks promising, but I'm unsure how to proceed (as this doesn't mention the maven plugin either).
