How many jars you have in your maven dependency? 

The Jetty8 have to scan all the jar files to search those "Servlet3" features 
(web-fragment / annotations ... etc ) , 
and it might be a long time if your IO speed is not quick enough. 

Since you are talking the shared folder from your network , 
I think that's the root-cause and there's nothing to do.

I Agree. But in Jetty6 everything is pretty fast, no issues. I thought it
could be some validation that is delaying my app.

Jetty 6 didn't support Servlet3 features, so it need not to scan the content of 
all the jar files.That's the reason for why it's faster.

Jetty8 have to do a "content" scan for searching web-fragment.xml/annotations,
but Jetty6 not.

You can add metadata-complete="true" to your web.xml web-app definition to 
avoid scanning and initialize faster.
Here's my example:

<web-app id="apalabrados" version="2.4"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
  metadata-complete="true">

Thank you. Adding metadata-complete=true makes my application run like hell.

Thank you again gonz...@gmail.com

That's a good suggestion , I will list it in the document.

adding metadata-complete sometimes doesn't help, there's a bug filed about it:

https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JETTY-1503

the solution is to add

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" 
"http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd">

<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<Call name="setAttribute">
<Arg>org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.WebInfIncludeJarPattern</Arg>
<Arg>.*/.*jsp-api-[^/]\.jar$|./.*jsp-[^/]\.jar$|./.*taglibs[^/]*\.jar$</Arg>
</Call>
</Configure>

to jetty-context.xml. I'm not sure how to do that for run-jetty-run

Here is a workaround for speeding up Jetty 8 with Servlet 3.x.

1. Create a file (jetty.xml)
2. Open a RJR configuration
3. Click on "Show advanced options"
4. Additional Jetty.xml: <location to the jetty.xml file>

The file (jetty.xml) must have these lines:

<Configure id="Server" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
  <Get name="handler">
    <Call name="setAttribute">
      <Arg>org.eclipse.jetty.server.webapp.WebInfIncludeJarPattern</Arg>
      <Arg>.*/mwa-web-.*\.jar$</Arg>
    </Call>
  </Get>
</Configure>

Here, I'm telling Jetty that any file starting with mwa-web-* should be scanned 
for Servlet 3.x.

As I said, this is a workaround. It will be nice if we can set the 
`webInfIncludeJarPattern` regex from RJR configuration dialog.

Thanks

Whoa! I already use jetty.xml and this workaround will fit great in my
projects.
Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
