FWIW, I link /opt/jetty to my jetty-base tree and then set the home path in an /etc/sysconfig/jetty:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
JETTY_HOME=/opt/jetty-distribution-9.3.14.v20161028
JETTY_BASE=/opt/jetty

My init script is a bit complex because I run Jetty "naked" and use setuid with it to bind to 443, but the principle's the same. Upgrading typically doesn't require a symlink change so its less easy for me to screw up.
