As described on eclipse.dev/jetty: "Jetty provides a web server and servlet container, additionally providing support for HTTP/2, WebSocket, OSGi, JMX, JNDI, JAAS and many other integrations. These components are open source and are freely available for commercial use and distribution."

Manual instrumentation allows you to define your Spans within the code itself rather than relying on automatic instrumentation finding the entry point for a trace. Manual instrumentation is especially helpful for applications that don’t use an application server such as Tomcat, JBoss, or Jetty.

So, 9.4.48 fixes the first two CVEs, but the last one doesn't mention 9.4 at all, so I'm not sure if that's left out due to EOL status for 9.4.

If you're doing something pretty simple and need something really lighweight, however, you could go with something like Javalin or even use Jetty directly (the HTTP server which powers Javalin and many other frameworks by default). It's not that hard to do that and that's what I actually would do myself for almost everything... the fewer moving parts you have in your application, the better chances you have of keeping everything up-to-date and the less chance to mess up (with a caveat: bigger frameworks may give you secure defaults that if you're not experienced enough you may not even know about, so it may be better to not go low level if you're new-ish to running web applications securely).

Example: Little Johnny was developing a Java web app and thinking about how he would configure Tomcat to listen to requests and redirect the data into his app... until he remembered this would violate Factor 7! Instead, he decided to declare Jetty as a dependency, keeping the HTTP service inside the app instead of configuring an external web server and then injecting its functionalities. Now, whenever he wants to instantiate another server for this app, all he has to do is installing dependencies and running the app, isn't it convenient?

Hi /r/java! Jetty is considering implementing dynamic Brotli compression, but the current JVM wrapper for Google's Brotli (jvm-brotli) is somewhat ... abandoned.

Multiple applications in the same JVM? Wildfly, Tomcat, Jetty.

Download Eclipse Jetty from the project website. Make sure to download the correct version, depending on the Java and Servlet API versions that your application uses. For example, in the case of Vaadin applications, download Eclipse Jetty 9.
