Solr 5 _does_ distribute a war file so this shouldn't be a blocker short-term. Look in ..../server/webapps/solr.war. So there's no (short term) reason why it "must run on jetty". The _scripts_ use jetty but if you don't use the scripts....
Here's a useful Wiki page with the current state of affairs: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/WhyNoWar (thanks Shawn!) We're _moving_ to not distributing a war file so you're absolutely correct to start planning on not having a war.... Now, about the dependency management tool, I really haven't a clue so I'll defer that to people who know.
