Jetty 9 Maven Plugin not setting defaultsDescriptor properly

I'm currently running Jetty 9 using the Maven Plugin with the following definition:

Parent pom.xml

<properties>
  <jetty.version>9.1.3.v20140225</jetty.version>
</properties>

<pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
      <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>${jetty.version}</version>
      <dependencies>
        <dependency>
          <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
          <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
          <version>${asm.version}</version>
        </dependency>
      </dependencies>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</pluginManagement>

Web Project pom.xml

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
      <httpConnector>
        <port>8888</port>
        <idleTimeout>60000</idleTimeout>
      </httpConnector>
      <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
      <stopKey>StopTouchingMe</stopKey>
      <stopPort>8889</stopPort>
      <systemProperties>
        <systemProperty>
          <name>com.pearson.platformj.server.root</name>
          <value>${project.basedir}/target</value>
        </systemProperty>
      </systemProperties>
      <webApp>
        <contextPath>/</contextPath>
      </webApp>
      <webAppConfig>
        <defaultsDescriptor>src/main/resources/webdefault.xml</defaultsDescriptor>
      </webAppConfig>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

I need to override the default webdefault.xml so that I can develop on Windows. but when I execute mvn jetty:run, I see

[INFO] --- jetty-maven-plugin:9.1.3.v20140225:run (default-cli) @ web ---
[INFO] Configuring Jetty for project: web
[INFO] webAppSourceDirectory not set. Trying src\main\webapp
[INFO] Reload Mechanic: automatic
[INFO] Classes = E:\Ideas\xte\XTE\web\target\classes
[INFO] Context path = /
[INFO] Tmp directory = E:\Ideas\xte\XTE\web\target\tmp
[INFO] Web defaults = org/eclipse/jetty/webapp/webdefault.xml
[INFO] Web overrides =  none
[INFO] web.xml file = file:/E:/Ideas/xte/XTE/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
[INFO] Webapp directory = E:\Ideas\xte\XTE\web\src\main\webapp

As you can see, the webdefault.xml is being pulled from the default location, not from the specified location. Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is that webAppConfig is an alias to webApp, so you should remove it and add the defaultsDescriptor to the webApp instead:

<webApp>
    <contextPath>/</contextPath>
    <defaultsDescriptor>src/main/resources/webdefault.xml</defaultsDescriptor> 
</webApp>
