Actually same as answered by Pascal Thivent with conjunction of an gnuf answer but valid one (ver. 6.1.26).

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>6.1.26</version>
  <configuration>
    <connectors>
      <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
        <port>8080</port>
      </connector>
      <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.security.SslSelectChannelConnector">
        <port>8443</port>
        <keystore>server.keystore</keystore>
        <keyPassword>password</keyPassword>
      </connector>
    </connectors>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
      <artifactId>jetty-sslengine</artifactId>
      <version>6.1.26</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

Answer 2

Not sure this is normal but the jetty-maven-plugin doesn't have jetty-ssl as dependency in its pom. So please update your pom like this:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>7.0.0.pre5</version>
  <configuration>
    <connectors>
      <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
        <port>8080</port>
      </connector>
      <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.ssl.SslSelectChannelConnector">
        <port>8443</port>
        <keystore>src/test/resources/server.keystore</keystore>
        <keyPassword>123456</keyPassword>
        <password>123456</password>
      </connector>
    </connectors>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
      <artifactId>jetty-ssl</artifactId>
      <version>7.0.0.pre5</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

And the plugin will succeed to load org.mortbay.jetty.ssl.SslSelectChannelConnector.

For the current version of jetty-maven-plugin, 8.0.0.M2, the class names have been moved into org.eclipse.*, and no additional dependencies are needed.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.0.M2</version>
    <configuration>
        <webAppConfig>
            <contextPath>/</contextPath>
        </webAppConfig>
        <connectors>
            <connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
                <port>8080</port>
            </connector>
            <connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ssl.SslSocketConnector">
                <port>8443</port>
                <keystore>src/test/resources/server.keystore</keystore>
                <keyPassword>123456</keyPassword>
                <password>123456</password>
            </connector>
        </connectors>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Answer 4

For anyone using Jetty 6.x, the artifact to include in the dependencies for the plugin is jetty-sslengine.
