Hi all,

I'm working on packaging Solr for Debian. The package will install Solr
as a Tomcat 5.5 webapp. I got the package working, but I would like the
package to use the Debian-supplied lucene and xpp3 .jar files, which
with Debian are installed under /usr/share/java. It is Debian policy not
to unnecessarily duplicate .jars on the same system.

I've tried the following approaches without success:
- putting full paths to the .jars in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
- symlinking the .jars in /usr/share/java to /usr/share/solr/WEB-INF/lib
- symlinking the .jars in /usr/share/java to
  /usr/share/tomcat5.5/shared/lib

Does anyone know how to get Tomcat to use the .jars under
/usr/share/java for the solr webapp?

If you're interested:
SVN repository (read-only): http://svn.vanbest.org/svn/solr
Websvn: http://svn.vanbest.org/websvn/listing.php?repname=solr
Private Debian repository: http://www.vanbest.org/debian/

Thanks for any help,

Jan-Pascal
