Any advice on going about performing a custom Jetty upgrade? The Openfire source build tree lib dir contains the Jetty libs. The 6.1.x reported by Openfire's Admin Console suggests a customized source build.

Well, anyway the Jetty README.TXT has some good advice:

...

JETTY DEPENDENCIES

==================

The Jetty build is rather large, because it bundles many optional

packages.

Jetty depends ONLY on a jre 1.4 runtime and the three jars found in

the top level of the $JETTY_HOME/lib directory:

  servlet-api-2.5-$VERSION.jar

  jetty-$VERSION.jar

  jetty-util-$VERSION.jar

For small foot print applications, these three jars can be

trimmed of excess classes - we will soon automate generation

of such minimal assemblies.

The jars found in the subdirectories are all optional:

  jsp-2.0/*.jar   (depends on java 2 (jre 1.4))

  jsp-2.1/*.jar   (depends on java 5 (jre 1.5))

  management/*.jar

  naming/*.jar

  plus/*.jar

  xbean/*.jar

The start.jar includes all these options if they are

left in the lib subdirectories.

The start.jar will also select the version of JSP to

use based on the version of the jre available.
