You didn't answer my question about where you are running "mvn jetty:run-exploded" - is it in your own project, or from the Solr sources?
Exactly which Solr Maven artifacts are you including as dependencies are in your project's POM?

If you haven't already done so, you can download a recent 4.0 snapshot by following the "Download" link next to "Trunk (4.x-SNAPSHOT)" from <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/NightlyBuilds>.

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!
