Description

Jetty version(s)
12.1.x

Enhancement Description
Currently, the CoreContextHandler supports a property called
jetty.deploy.core.extraClassPath which allows a property to configure the extra class path.

However, there is no similar property for WebAppContext.
We should consider adding one.
