Please make the Jetty version configurable

[ksilz]

If I'm not mistaken, the plug-in currently embeds Jetty 8.1.x. The official Grails Jetty plugin, on the other hand, uses Jetty 7.6. It would be great if you could configure the war-exec plugin to use the same version as the Grails Jetty plugin.

Good idea. I will see how that works out.

I know this is an extremely old post but any progress so this? I'd like to use Jetty 9.1

I had a look and BuildConfig.groovy has some complicated exclusions for Jetty to make it work. So this would require a mechanism to leave that stuff out in favour of similar stuff in the client application itself. I will see what I can sort out tm.
