Peter, You've brought up some good points. The good news is this is something I have been working on (as part of https://github.com/eclipse/ jetty.project/issues/1319 ) and hope to have published soon as the current information is not complete.
As for the specific functionality you mentioned with [files], the copy features are largely undocumented as they really exist as convenience methods to move things from Jetty_Home to Jetty_Base. Regarding extraction, I think it could be a good addition. I'd definitely recommend you enter it as a feature request on the project GitHub page ( https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/new). If you are willing and able to produce the commit we'd certainly welcome it as well.
