Yes. IAM uses an single instance of the maven embedder, which is not 
thread safe... so all calls are serialized.

We expect users to take advantage of WTP integration (which, if I am not 
mistaken, already supports Jetty).

I think this deserves a bugzilla entry.

As a workaround, you can setup some External Tool Configurations (Run >

locally installed maven, so you do not need to leave the IDE (and, for 
launching the jetty case, it will require you fewer clicks/keystrokes).

Thanks!
