Wow -- thanks for all the help!! With everyone's help, I did end up
in a *much* better place:
private static boolean solrCoreExists(String coreName, String
solrRootUrl) throws IOException, SolrServerException
{
CommonsHttpSolrServer adminServer = new
CommonsHttpSolrServer(solrRootUrl);
CoreAdminResponse status =
CoreAdminRequest.getStatus(coreName, adminServer);
return status.getCoreStatus(coreName).get("instanceDir") !=
null;
}

yes:
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=STATUS
will give you a list of running cores. However that is not easy to
check with a simple status != 404

: Subject: Is there a clean way to determine whether a core exists?
doesn't the CoreAdminHandler's STATUS feature make this easy?
