SuperDevMode

Since DevMode dropped dead, I've just written it off and worked directly in JavaScript, adding debug logging as necessary to isolate problems.  It's not optimal, but it's workable.  I'm looking at SuperDevMode with GWT 2.8 now, and I'm struggling.  The documentation (http://www.gwtproject.org/articles/superdevmode.html) suggests (possibly overly optimistically?) that it just works; is that theoretically true, or is it omitting crucial details?

We do not use the builtin Jetty server; is SuperDevMode somehow bound to that older version of Jetty?  When I try to start it here, it dies immediately with this error:
