Thanks for jumping in guys. I agree the SolrJetty page needs just a little updating -- I commented at the bottom of SOLR-3159 about that.
Michael and Paul, are your chef and ant recipes generic enough to share? My next install is going to be on RHEL 6, so I can take a crack at an install script that'll work there. It wouldn't be hard to translate between shell and chef. Michael: The problem with adding a dependency on Jetty in your chef recipe is that it's going to grab whatever version of Jetty was blessed by the distro maintainers on your target platform.
