Object of class 'org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server' is not of type 'org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler'

Serving static contents with jetty 9.3 fails with gretty, but works OK with plain jetty (9.3.8.v20160314).

Official jetty docs recommends using following config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure_9_3.dtd">
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler">
  <Set name="contextPath">/<Set>
  <Set name="handler">
    <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ResourceHandler">
      <Set name="resourceBase">./</Set>
      <Set name="directoriesListed">true</Set>
    </New>
  </Set>
</Configure>

However once using following build.gradle:

buildscript {
  repositories {
      jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {
      classpath 'org.akhikhl.gretty:gretty:1.4.2'
  }
}

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'org.akhikhl.gretty'



gretty {
  httpPort = 8082
  serverConfigFile = 'jetty-static-content.xml'
  contextPath = '/'
  servletContainer='jetty9.3'
}

I get error on command:
