Eli, Sorry, I don't have any experience using Solr in this way.
Has anybody else here successfully run Solr when it's included as a war dependency in an external Maven-based war project, by running "mvn jetty:run exploded" from the external project? FYI, The nightly download page I pointed you to includes a *binary* distribution, and you can run Solr using such a binary distribution by following the Solr tutorial I linked to. (This is the standard way to "get Solr running".)
