Hey Steven,
I'm not modifying Solr sources at all. I just have a project that's
built on top of Solr using ant. I'd like to move it to use maven instead
of ant. The way I was going about this was just adding in all parts of
Solr that it's using as dependencies in Maven. I wasn't using a local
repo for this at all, and instead just pulling everything from
http://repository.apache.org/snapshots. I'm using version 4.0-SNAPSHOT
for everything right now.
I'm running mvn jetty:run-exploded after compiling right now (or as my
build target in Eclipse as per that guide I originally posted).
Basically, I was just doing that to try to get Solr up and running. I
haven't found too many clear guides on this point, so I could definitely
be doing something wrong here.
I'm fine with maven being officially unsupported as long as I can get
things working. I'm not doing anything too fancy or out of the ordinary,
so I'm thinking this shouldn't be too bad.
Thanks again for the help!

Eli,
Could you please more fully describe what you're doing?
Are you modifying Solr sources, and then compiling& installing the resulting
modifications to your local Maven repository?
Or do you have a project that doesn't include any Solr sources at all, but only
depends on Solr artifacts pulled in via Maven?
Also, which branch are you using? Trunk (will be 4.0 when released)? If
you're using branch_3x, my recommendation is that you instead use released
artifacts instead of snapshots.
Where are you running "mvn jetty:run-exploded"?
I'm not using ant at all, and would really like to keep it that way if
at all possible.
Well, the official Lucene/Solr build is Ant. Using Maven to build Lucene/Solr is
"officially unsupported". So depending on what you're doing, it may not be
possible to avoid Ant.

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
