 Description   

I have GWT output compiled to my build directory that I would like to expose when running the jettyRun task. There doesn't seem to be any good way to do this. I would like to add the output as an extra webAppSourceDirectory.

Found a way to perform this enhancement using 0.9-rc-1; but obviously, being able to do so with less code would be nice.

jettyRun.doFirst {
  jettyRun.webAppConfig = new JettyPluginWebAppContext()
  jettyRun.webAppConfig.baseResource = new ResourceCollection(
    [
      "${file(webAppDirName)}", 
      "${rootProject.relativePath(compileGwt.buildDir)}"
    ] as String[])
}

I've found that Richard Bolkey's workaround doesn't work with Gradle 2.5. Specifically the ResourceCollection class isn't available on the build file's classpath. Trying to import the Jetty dependency manually as a build script dependency doesn't solve the issue. I'm guessing that the classloader handling for plugins has changed since 0.9.
