: I figured out my problem. My own jar must be in the examples/solr/lib : directory (which does not exist in the download). I found a hint to : this on the mailing list. The docs don't indicate this anywhere : promenant. Perhaps the lib directory should exist in the default : download in the future?
it's mentioned in both the plugin wiki i listed, as well as the README for solr.home (example/solr/README.txt) ... do you have any suggestions about where else we should document it? we don't include the lib directory in the example solr home because adding "plugins" is considered a little above and beyond the basic usage .. we try to keep the example as simple as possible. -Hoss
