I tend to agree with Martijn here. The Jakarta APIs are the future. It
is unfortunate that the last stable version of Jetty is 4 years old
now and they have not been able to produce a new version in the past 2
years. Maybe us moving to servlet 4 will give them a bit more
incentive to pick op the pace.

For the examples, it should not be that hard to use a jetty 10 milestone.
