Maven+Selenium+Jetty - ClassNotFoundException when Jetty is Shutting Down
Looks like groovy runtime dependency missing. Please refer http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GMAVEN/Groovy+Runtime
Try adding a stopWait to the jetty configuration :
<configuration> <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds> <stopKey>stop</stopKey> <stopPort>8005</stopPort> <stopWait>5</stopWait></configuration>This ensures jetty stops before the next maven goal is executed and importantly before the build completes.
It's this case where Jetty is attempting shutdown when the Maven build has completed that you will see this ClassNotFoundError.

I solved this, adding this dependency
<dependency> <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>jsp-2.1</artifactId> <version>6.0.0</version> </dependency>
