Hey Steve,
Thanks for the help! Ok, so per those instructions, I'm using a pom to
pull dependencies from http://repository.apache.org/snapshots.
Nonetheless, that weird solr.build.dir error still appears. Is there
some place I need to specify this that I don't know about? Should a
build dir be generated at some point during the Maven install process or
some such? For clarity, all I'm doing right now is just mvn installing
and then trying mvn jetty:run-exploded. I'm not using ant at all, and
would really like to keep it that way if at all possible.

Hi Eli,
The author of the blog post you mentioned appears to be unaware of the Maven POMs
that are already included in Subversion for both Lucene and Solr.
See<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#Maven>.
Because of the complex nature of the Ant build, which the Maven POMs cannot entirely
duplicate, these POMs are not usable as the basis for IDE project bootstrapping. Instead,
IntelliJ and Eclipse configurations are separately available:
see<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#IntelliJ_.289.0.X.2C_10.X.2C_and_11.X.29>
and<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#Eclipse>.

Subject: Moving to Maven from Ant solr.build.dir Not Found
Hi Folks,
I've been tasked with moving a Solr project I know little about from Ant to
Maven. I've found all the dependencies I need and I'm not seeing any errors in
my IDE. Everything compiles and installs just fine. Problem is, when I try to
start things up in Jetty, I get errors. The first main one I get is:
SEVERE: null:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: No system property or
default value specified for solr.build.dir value:${solr.build.dir}/
I have:
<properties>
<build-directory>../build/solr-maven</build-directory>
</properties>
in my pom.xml, so I'm not sure why this comes up. Anyway, it's quickly followed
by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrUpdateServlet
I'm not sure if the two are related, but when googling I can't seem to find anyone
with the same problem. For reference, I started the bulk of my move from ant to maven
using the instructions
here<http://uomesh.blogspot.com/2011/11/building-solr-as-maven-project.html>,
and then extrapolated from that to add in custom code and dependencies for my
project. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Eli
