If you change jetty-shared-webapps.xml to point to /usr/share/java/webapps you will get nothing working. After diving into Jetty's directory hierarchy, I could not find the config file that was making Jetty look for webapps in /usr/share/java/webapps.
I could come up with 2 hacks to make it work (both worked, I checked them separately): FIRST: Make a simbolic link called /usr/share/java/webapps pointing to /var/lib/jetty/webapps SECOND: In the /etc/init.d/jetty file I added a line just before the line 200, so it looks like this: NAME=jetty WEBAPPDIR="$JETTY_HOME/webapps" This makes sure that if any other file changed the name, to java, it overwrites it and makes it work. Anyways, the bug is real and I could not find an elegant solution to this as I am not a Jetty expert. First time I use it, and I have to say I saw many people having trouble on Ubuntu, because it doesn't work out of the box.
