: To instantiate the schema and core, you should not *need* any files on disk -- : however, many of the plugins expect files like 'stopwords.txt' 'elevate.xml' : etc. They use the ResourceLoader, so (in theory) you could hijack that to : send stuff from your .jar
you shouldn't need to hijack anything -- getLines and all of the "open*" methods in SolrResourceLoader that the plugins use to open "files" are backed by openResource which will use ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream if it can't find them in the filesystem -- so if Solr Home is something like /dev/null there hould be no chance Solr even inadvertantly finding one of those files on disk -- it can always come from a jar. -Hoss
