[arch-general] In the systemd scheme, where should startup/stop scripts for things systemd can't handle go?

Use:
WorkingDirectory=

> ExecStart=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar $JAVA_OPTS start.jar $JETTY_OPTS >>
> /var/log/jetty.log 2>&1

You shouldn't redirect stdout/stderr, let systemd handle it

see StandardInput=, StandardOutput=, StandardError= in man systemd.exec


 > ExecStop=kill `pidof -o %PPID /usr/sbin/dictd` 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null

I don't know what's that "kill dictd" but if it's a subprocess started 
from your java program, systemd can handle it too. It puts every service 
in its own CGroup so it know all the processes started from that 
service. See man systemd.kill KillMode=
