Adding: <packaging>war</packaging>
and <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>9.4.25.v20191220</version> <configuration> <supportedPackagings>war</supportedPackagings> </configuration> seems to solve the problem. I seriously think that the Getting Started Guide should be updated on the website. I was not having fun fixing this issue. Ali
