First off, Jetty 8 is very end of life, we just released Jetty 9.4 a week or two ago. Jetty 9.2 if you are stuck on Java 7 which you really shouldn't at this point, it too is EOL.
Second, Jetty is very rarely the cause of a memory leak, more likely the application you are running inside of Jetty is misbehaving in some way. There is little Jetty can do to force an application to behave in this way, you are pretty limited in what your options are there. Your best bet is to limit the memory of the JVM you are starting through the command line arguments of java. AFAIK those limits to the jvm are not fungible to any great degree so if you see growth beyond it would be a factor of the OS/JVM interactions, etc. cheers!
