Thanks a lot. It did work. A last favor - can you please explain me, why did the old command didn't work and why this one worked? Although, I do know that the command you have given assumes that I did not set the environment through: "export CLASSPATH
=dist/solr-core-4.10.2.jar" . But I already set the environment, still there was no effect. Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere. Thanks.
