Hmm. I don't add code to Apache packages but create my own packages and
namespaces, build a jar and add it to the lib directory as specified in
solrconfig. Then you can use the FQCN to in the similarity config to point to
the class.
May be it can work when messing inside the apache namespace but then you have
to build Lucene as well.
