Jetty is needed by CodeServer and DevMode (which is used as the basis for
the JUnitShell for running GWTTestCases), all of them are inside
gwt-dev.jar (yes, gwt-codeserver.jar is absolutely useless, all its classes
are in gwt-dev.jar since GWT 2.7 at least) so Jetty is a dependency of
gwt-dev.jar, even though it's not always being used.
If you never use the above, then you can safely exclude them:
dependencies {
gwtSdk('com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:2.8.0-SNAPSHOT') {
exclude group: 'org.eclipse.jetty'
}
}
or
configurations {
gwtSdk.exclude group: 'org.eclipse.jetty'
}

Those "other libraries" are likely not related to GWT, so it should be easy
to get 1.0.0.GA for GWT and 1.1.0.Final for the server side.
Using gwt-gradle-plugin, that'd likely be:
configurations.gwt {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'javax.validation:validation-api:1.0.0.GA'
}
}
As for the first part of the question: whenever someone will roll up his
sleeves and pick the task (without abandoning in the last miles, as we've
seen before).
See https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/7658
and https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/8869
I think that, by the next version, we might try to remove javax.validation
support from GWT altogether, other than a few supersourced classes for
backwards compatibility (ConstraintViolations are used by EditorDriver, and
many widgets depend on the Editor Framework, so unless we split the Editor
Framework in 2 –which BTW seems entirely possible– this is a transitive
dependency of com.google.gwt.user.User)
