So I've been trying to utilize Solr, and I integrated with Solr 4.x but using its war file. I wanted to use a dependency management tool so it was easier to migrate between versions. I've read several blogs on how to integrate Solr with other dependency management tools and they all use the war file dependency to download Solr and integrate with various plugins. Now Solr 5 doesn't publish a war file because it must run on Jetty so the individual war file isn't available through maven. But managing these dependencies using Solr is extremely helpful. So what is the way you can manage Solr 5 using a dependency tool without scraping the war file out of the download of Solr? Is there a distribution of standalone Solr server through maven that I could use since there is little hep with having 4.x on maven since you can't upgrade it?
