Jetty startup delay due to scanning
Context and setup information: Jetty 9 with the eclipse jetty plugin Spring 4.1.1.RELEASE with Spring Security 3.2.3 Spring Java Configuration (no web.xml) Problem description Starting jetty 9 is very slow in a project where Spring's JavaConfig is used to boot the Spring context instead of using a web.xml . Jetty seems to be doing nothing during a considerate amount of time. This occurs after the line: INFO:oejs.Server:main: jetty-9.2.3.v20140905 Jetty does start eventually, but takes very long to start up compared to a regular tomcat 7 distribution.
