However, I\'m struggling to get Jetty to recogni

Solution that worked for me and does not involve scanning, but uses WebApplicationInitializer class that you provide. Jetty version: 9.2.20

public class Main {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    InputStream stream = Main.class.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/application.properties");
    properties.load(stream);
    stream.close();
    PropertyConfigurator.configure(properties);

    WebAppContext webAppContext = new WebAppContext();
    webAppContext.setResourceBase("resource");
    webAppContext.setContextPath(properties.getProperty("base.url"));
    webAppContext.setConfigurations(new Configuration[] {
        new WebXmlConfiguration(),
        new AnnotationConfiguration() {
            @Override
            public void preConfigure(WebAppContext context) {
                ClassInheritanceMap map = new ClassInheritanceMap();
                map.put(WebApplicationInitializer.class.getName(), new ConcurrentHashSet() {{
                    add(WebInitializer.class.getName());
                    add(SecurityWebInitializer.class.getName());
                }});
                context.setAttribute(CLASS_INHERITANCE_MAP, map);
                _classInheritanceHandler = new ClassInheritanceHandler(map);
            }
        }
    });

    Server server = new Server(Integer.parseInt(properties.getProperty("base.port")));
    server.setHandler(webAppContext);
    server.start();
    server.join();
}
}
