org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.TimerScheduler.TimerScheduler exists in the lib dir (jetty-util-7.6.9.v20130131.jar comes with the .zip)
This also appends on jetty 7 and 8 when adding these lines in jetty.xml (by default in jetty 9):
<Call name="addBean">
<Arg>
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.TimerScheduler.TimerScheduler"/>
</Arg>
</Call>
Any advice ?
Solved
Now I have another problem (with 9.0.0.RC2)if I add this to my jetty.xml file (from here):
<Ref refid="DeploymentManager">
<Call name="addAppProvider">
<Arg>
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.deploy.providers.ContextProvider">
<Set name="monitoredDir"><Property name="jetty.home" default="." />/contexts</Set>
<Set name="scanInterval">1</Set>
</New>
</Arg>
</Call>
</Ref>
gives:

This was brought up in the jetty-users mailing list..
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-users/msg03044.html
If you are using the distribution (and not embedded mode use of jetty), then use 9.0.0.RC2.
There are a number of configuration errors in 9.0.0.RC1
