Glad to hear someone looking at Solr not just as web enabled search engine, but as a simpler/more powerful interface to Lucene!
When you download the source code, look at the Chapter 8 "Crawler" project, specifically "Indexer.java", it demonstrates how to index into both a traditional separate Solr process and how to fire up an embedded Solr. It is remarkably easy to interact with an embedded Solr! In terms of minimal dependencies, what you need for a standalone Solr (outside of the servlet container like Tomcat/Jetty) is what you need for an embedded Solr.
