Thanks Jeff,
I believe I tried that, and it still refused to load.. But I'd sure love
it to work since the other process is a bit convoluted - although I see
it's value in a large Solr installation.
When I "locate" the jar on the linux command line I get:
/opt/solr-5.4.0/server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/hon-lucene-synonyms-2.0.0.jar
But the log file is still carrying class not found exceptions when I
restart...
Are you in "Cloud" mode? What version of Solr are you using?
