Hi Andrea, i been looking for a archetype because i am using eclipse and the specific solr config must be easy to deploy (now we are using maven), mvn package mvn assembly or simliars, the idea is leave solr config easy to package and well stored on svn.
I saw that is a very common way to use solr server create a solr home and store all xml and properties config in there , it is the common way to use solr server? regards Erwin 2013/12/6 Andrea Gazzarini <a.gazzar...@gmail.com> > Hi, > if you want to deploy the SOLR war on tomcat you should do once so why do > you need a maven archetype?
