Change Jetty default port
Jetty default port is 8080, but I want to change to default port to some other port (9999).
I read a few tutorials and they said almost all of configuration information is by default maintained in file jetty.xml, this file is located under $JETTY_HOME/etc/. Then, change property jetty.port to 9999. However, when I opened up that file, I couldn't find jetty.port property inside the jetty.xml. I'm currently using Jetty-9.2.1 and the port is at 8080.
I found jetty.port property under jetty-http.xml file. Even though I changed the port to 8090 in the jetty-http.xml file, jetty is still running at port 8080.

I was also advised to use an integration test to configure Jetty to use other port. There's a integration-tests.properties file inside the project. Maybe a solution is to set jetty.port to 9999 inside this file?
integration-tests.properties:
host = localhost
port = 9999
Answer
does it work if you set the port when you start it from the command line like this:
java -jar start.jar -Djetty.port=9999
