So why is it called Jetty?
Jetty was originally developed by Greg Wilkins  of Mort Bay Consulting.

Mort Bay is at the heart of Balmain, Sydney NSW, Australia. A former working class suburb, now yuppieville in Sydney's close inner-west. Each weekend thousands (ok, maybe hundreds) flock to the ever growing cafe atmosphere.

Greg Wilkins  was living by Mort Bay when the company was formed, hence the company name.

Jetty was originally called IssueTracker (its original application) and then MBServler (Mort Bay SERVLet servER). Neither of these were much liked, so Jetty was finally picked as it started with a J, jetty: looks a little like http: and there is a jetty in the Mort Bay Logo:
