Integration test with embedded jetty not working

Question

I want to make test end to end with angular so I try to run a embedded jetty.

First, I have created this conf in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>6.1.26</version>
  <configuration>
    <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
    <stopKey>foo</stopKey>
    <stopPort>9999</stopPort>
    <contextPath>/</contextPath>
    <connectors>
      <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
        <port>29439</port>
        <maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime>
      </connector>
    </connectors>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
      <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
      <version>${slf4j.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
      <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
      <version>${logback.version}</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>start-jetty</id>
      <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>run</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <scanIntervalSeconds>0</scanIntervalSeconds>
        <daemon>true</daemon>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
    <execution>
      <id>stop-jetty</id>
      <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>stop</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

but the test are blocked with karma e2e waiting a response from the jetty. If I try to browse localhost:29439 there is nothing.

As It's very hard to debug, I tried to upgrade to a new jetty version but it was the road to hell :(

For exemple, the following conf keeps giving me NoClassDefFound error:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>7.6.14.v20131031</version>
  <configuration>
    <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
    <stopKey>STOP</stopKey>
    <stopPort>9999</stopPort>
    <webApp>
      <contextPath>/</contextPath>
    </webApp>
    <connectors>
      <connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
        <port>29439</port>
        <maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime>
      </connector>
    </connectors>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
      <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
      <version>${slf4j.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
      <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
      <version>${logback.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
      <artifactId>jetty-jsp</artifactId>
      <version>7.6.14.v20131031</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>start-jetty</id>
      <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>start</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <scanIntervalSeconds>0</scanIntervalSeconds>
        <daemon>true</daemon>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
    <execution>
      <id>stop-jetty</id>
      <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>stop</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Any solution or tips will help, either with debugging the 1st version or make the 2nd version works.

This will do the integration phase start/stop, with logging configured, as well as the supporting $ mvn jetty:run on a Servlet 2.5 webapp.

Working Example

A working example webapp has been uploaded to github.

https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-maven-plugin-examples

See the webapp-2.5 sub-project

To build the war

$ mvn clean install

To run the jetty server using your jetty-maven-plugin configuration

$ mvn jetty:run 

Goto your browser and hit any of the following URLs to see it working.

• http://localhost:28080/ - simple html response from src/main/webapp/index.html
• http://localhost:28080/time - simple servlet response from org.eclipse.demo.TimeServlet
• http://localhost:28080/flarnsworth - an invalid reference, so this will trigger the <error-page> handling and return a response from org.eclipse.jetty.demo.ErrorServlet
• http://localhost:28080/dump.jsp - a jsp response from src/main/webapp/dump.jsp
