Class not found (IWorkspaceRunnable) when deploying jodd to a servlet via gradle - jetty

Question

I'm trying to use Jetty to deploy a Jodd servlet. My build tool is Gradle. When I call gradle jettyRun, I get a ClassNotFound exception. I've tried adding various jars to the runtime, but I can't seem to find one that fixes this exception.
Here's my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'jetty'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.5'
compile 'org.jodd:jodd-madvoc:3.4.4'
compile 'org.eclipse.jetty.orbit:javax.servlet:3.0.0.v201112011016'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.3'
}
and I get the following stack trace:

There was a problem how Madvoc was scanning the classpath in v3.4.4 :) As you can see from the classpath, error comes from AutomagicMadvocConfigurator - class that scans all jars for Madvoc actions. In short, scanning process was going 'too deep'. There are two ways how to solve this:
Limit the Madvoc scanning path, to skip the eclipse jars (not recommended).
Simply use latest 3.4.5 beta snapshot (soon to be released as final). We have fixed this issue there; you can check this without our example quickstart template. As you can see in README, you can run the Madvoc example with gradlew jettyRun and it should work.
I hope this works for you! If not, please let us know, and we will make it work for you.
