Having trouble starting Jenkins: “java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/java/jenkins/war/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (No such file or directory)”

Question

I just downloaded the Jenkins WAR, version 1.651.1. I’m trying to set it up on my Amazon Linux box. I’m running Java 1.7. I moved the WAR into its own directory, /usr/sha
