Jetty 7 and Jetty 8 are nearly identical, with only minor differences
required for Servlet Spec differences.

Jetty 7 = Servlet 2.5
Jetty 8 = Servlet 3.0

Now, Jetty 9, on the other hand, that was the big change, to Servlet 3.1
and the Async world it brings.
Starting in Jetty 9 we have the big change in the connectors.
