Thanks Alexi,
  I found an example that should work with Jetty 6.  Here is what I've defined.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 <!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd">
<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
    <Set name="contextPath">
        /
    </Set>
    <Set name="handler">
        <New id="Handlers" class="org.mortbay.jetty.handler.rewrite.RewriteHandler">
            <Call name="addRule">
                <Arg>
                    <New id="rootRewrite" class="org.mortbay.jetty.handler.rewrite.RedirectPatternRule">
                        <Set name="pattern">
                            /*
                        </Set>
                        <Set name="location">
                            /aviator
                        </Set>
                    </New>
                </Arg>
            </Call>
        </New>
    </Set>
</Configure>

However, when I open localhost:8080/, I'm not redirected to localhost:8080/aviator as I need.  Everything parses, and I've used similar rules in apache, so I'm surprised this one doesn't work
