Actually I think the core issue is that plugin is not using the start.ini in the jetty distribution that it unpacks...if it did then it would get annotations support correctly out of the box. If I remember right the plugin constructs much of the commandline used to start the instance dynamically. I seem to remember that there was a way to modify the start.ini used in the plugin so it could be its just an old copy of that start.ini that is missing the OPTIONS line with annotations on it. If you have the ability to tweak that start.ini via the plugin make sure both the OPTIONS line is correct and that jetty-annotations.xml is being processed at the bottom of the file.

Anyway, we have added gerrit support to the git repository housing the plugin so if anyone is interested in contributing updates to the plugin I would be more then happy to review them and push out some updates to the plugin, I just don't have the time to work on that plugin much at the moment.
