Unfortunately not. I tried different approaches, but they all failed, because GWT depends on Jetty 8.

The most promising approach was to not package Jetty in gwt-dev at all, and maintain two different

codeserver versions targeting Jetty 8 & Jetty 9. And by not shipping asm library in gwt-dev.jar in 2.7

was steps in the same direction. While viable option, this approach was abandoned, after codeserver

itself was shipped in gwt-dev.jar.

While all "straight forward" ways to get GWT + SDM + Jetty9 up and running failed, there is a hack:

1. strip outdated Jetty 8 from gwt-dev.jar

2. add dependency to Jetty 9

3. replace one source file from codeserver with this version [1]

See these changes for glory details [2], [3].

I filed this issue for HtmlUnit project as it is the root cause for why GWT cannot switch to Jetty 9 atm: [1].
