  <p>According to the Jetty documentation (<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/quickstart-running-jetty.html">http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/quickstart-running-jetty.html</a>), all I need to do is download the zip, extract, and run start.jar. Google doesn't seem to provide me with any people having similar issues.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
