Based initially on this page, this is what I do to debug web apps in Eclipse when using the jetty-maven-plugin.

• create a new Run Configuration

• main class: org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher

• program args: jetty:run

• VM args:

  -Xmx512M 
  -Dclassworlds.conf=${M2_HOME}/bin/m2.conf 
  -Dmaven.home=${M2_HOME}
  -Djetty.port=8082
  

  ... where I've set up M2_HOME in the list of variables available in the Arguments tab of the run config.

• In the Classpath tab, Add plexus-classworlds-2.4.jar from the boot/ subdirectory of your maven app dir.
