Description
**Jetty version**

**Description**
Currently, the `--download=` command line argument has a syntax in the `` with a pipe symbol `|`.
This complicates usage on a command line as it's [a special character interpreted by the shell](https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/SpecialCharacters).
Consider an alternative (optional) character that can be used in the `` section.
