ClassNotFoundException when starting Jetty 9.0.0.RC1

Question

I cannot start jetty 9 (win 7 x64):

java -jar start.jar

2013-02-26 12:47:49.521:WARN:oejx.XmlConfiguration:main: Config error at | | java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org .eclipse.jetty.util.thread.TimerScheduler.TimerScheduler in file:/C:/Users/Quick sort/Desktop/jetty-distribution-9.0.0.RC1/etc/jetty.xml java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.invokeMain(Main.java:453) at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.start(Main.java:595) at org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main.main(Main.java:96) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.Timer Scheduler.TimerScheduler at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.Loader.loadClass(Loader.java:100) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.nodeClas s(XmlConfiguration.java:354) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.newObj(X mlConfiguration.java:743) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.itemValu e(XmlConfiguration.java:1111) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.value(Xm lConfiguration.java:1016) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.call(Xml Configuration.java:710) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.configur e(XmlConfiguration.java:407) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$JettyXmlConfiguration.configur e(XmlConfiguration.java:344) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration.configure(XmlConfiguration.jav a:262) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration$1.run(XmlConfiguration.java:12 21) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration.main(XmlConfiguration.java:116 0) ... 7 more

org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.TimerScheduler.TimerScheduler exists in the lib dir (jetty-util-7.6.9.v20130131.jar comes with the .zip)

This also appends on jetty 7 and 8 when adding these lines in jetty.xml (by default in jetty 9):

<Call name="addBean">
    <Arg>
       <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.TimerScheduler.TimerScheduler"/>
    </Arg>
</Call>

Any advice ?

Now I have another problem (with 9.0.0.RC2)if I add this to my jetty.xml file (from here):

<Ref refid="DeploymentManager">
    <Call name="addAppProvider">
        <Arg>
            <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.providers.ContextProvider">
                <Set name="monitoredDir"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/contexts</Set>
                <Set name="scanInterval">1</Set>
            </New>
        </Arg>
    </Call>
</Ref>

gives:

This was brought up in the jetty-users mailing list..

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-users/msg03044.html

If you are using the distribution (and not embedded mode use of jetty), then use 9.0.0.RC2. There are a number of configuration errors in 9.0.0.RC1
