Thanks Erick. Just to clarify I don't have to have a war file. And while a war file makes moving between 4.x -> 5.x somewhat smoother it's really about being able to use dependency management tools to manage whatever that binary is. The only problem is to get that 5.x war file you can't get it through the dependency management tools. You have to download the zip package and extract it from there.
I was hoping there was a solr server dependency package that I could declare against to get solr's standalone server which seems to be the direction the team is taking, and I want to stay in those lines for the future if that's the direction.
