{quote}... and basically it ensures that you don't forget to provide a value 
for the option ...
{quote}
Strictly speaking it checks if the value of the first character is "-"

It makes sense for things like {{--port}} but it definitely doesn't make sense 
for {{--jettyconfig}} or {{--jvm-opts}}
{quote}I am putting up a PR that first cleans some docs up about --jettyconfig, 
and then adds a test. Can you look at it?

Seems fine ... except the absolute path in your test might actually exist :) 
... maybe better to use something like {{./BOGUS}}

FWIW: Since you can't specify {{--jettyconfig}} or {{--jvm-opts}} more then 
once on the command line (w/o them overwriting -eachother- their respective 
previous usages) we should probably also be be testing that you can pass a 
quoted sting containing multiple "real" options and they get parsed correctly...
{noformat}
./bin/solr ... -j "--module=foobar --include-jetty-dir=/weird"
{noformat}
(but maybe that should be it's own jira?)

bq. I am putting up a PR that first cleans some docs up about --jettyconfig, 
and then adds a test.  Can you look at it?

>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Chris M. Hostetter
>            Priority: Major

> The "-jettyconfig" optiona (aka "-j") is documented as...
> {noformat}
>   -j <jettyParams>      Additional parameters to pass to Jetty when starting 
> Solr.
>                           For example, to add configuration folder that jetty 
> should read
>                           you could pass: -j 
> "--include-jetty-dir=/etc/jetty/custom/server/"
>                           In most cases, you should wrap the additional 
> parameters in double quotes.
> {noformat}
> ..but if you actually attempt to run  use that example option, you will get 
> an error...
> {noformat}
> ./bin/solr start ... -j "--include-jetty-dir=/etc/jetty/custom/server/"
> ERROR: Jetty config is required when using the -j option!
> {noformat}
> IIUC this is because the bash code for parsing this option requires that it 
> not start with a "{{\-}}" character; but by definition any option you want to 
> pass to jetty will start with "{{\--}}".
> Attempting to workaround this problem by using two sets of quotes doesn't 
> seem to work -- the inner quotes are passed verbatim to jetty which seems to 
> prevent jetty from recognizing it as a valid option.
> A workaround that *does* seem to work (in my limited testing) is to include a 
> leading space character _inside_ the quotes...
> {noformat}
> ./bin/solr start ... -j " --include-jetty-dir=/etc/jetty/custom/server/"
> {noformat}
> ...because for some reason that does *NOT* seem to be passed verbatim.
