Hi, I am trying to upgrade Solr 4.X to Solr 5.1.0. I am using Maven to compile solr.
Previously, I was packing my custom-plugin jars with solr.war and everything worked fine. With Solr 5.X, however, I am finding it hard to include my custom-plugin jars in the classpath. I am using bin/solr script to start up Solr. I have tried a few things: 1. Passing the path of custom jars as -Djava.class.path=<full-path> 2. Passing the path as -a "-cp <full-path>" 3. Copying the jars inside server/lib/ext folder. 4. Copying the jars inside server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib folder (because after reading the script, i realize that this folder is included in the classpath by default). Is there a recommended way to load the plugin jars in the classpath? Note that I am willing to avoid the blob-store api. Also, there is no documentation on the OPTIONS parameter in start.jar and how do i set that from bin/solr script. Any guidance is highly appreciated. Thanks, Vaibhav
