You will need to use your favourite java tooling to take the code that you have
written and package it as a jar file. In my case, we use maven so I have set
my custom extensions up as a maven project, and in my POM file (which tells
maven what dependencies your project has), I declare:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.solr</groupId>
<artifactId>solr-core</artifactId>
<version>6.4.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependencies>
This puts the Solr core classes on my classpath when I am compiling, but does
not package them up when I am building my jar file (scope=provided).
Once you have written your extension class, running mvn clean install will
create your jar file for you. You then need to copy that jar file into the
solr/server/solr/lib directory so that Solr can find it and put it on the
classpath. You should then be able to reference your custom extension in the
Solr config.
See https://maven.apache.org/ for details on maven.
See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/basicsindex.html for
the basics on jar files.
If you use a tool like IntelliJ or Exclipse, they have maven and jar file
support built in.
