AFAIK, we can't update Jetty to 9.x because HTMLUnit (used for 
JUnitShell/GWTTestCase) depends on Jetty 8.x APIs (WebSockets)
There's been a patch proposed already and it has been abandoned because of 
that.

It could possibly help with some setups but I doubt it'd be that useful.

If we had a modularized GWT then you could avoid depending on gwt-junit, 
gwt-devmode-jettylauncher and gwt-codeserver (e.g. when compiling) and live 
with Jetty 9.x dependencies in your classpath/buildpath, or we could 
possibly provide a gwt-codeserver and/or gwt-devmode-jettylauncher using 
using Jetty 9.x; so you'd use Jetty 8.x with gwt-junit to run your 
unittests, and you could use Jetty 9.x in DevMode/superDevMode (and benefit 
from Jetty 9.x perf improvements for gwt-codeserver?)
It's not possible with our current monolithic artifacts (and build) though.
