Hi Erwin; If you want to run Solr within a servlet container and if you are new to Solr you should examine the example folder of Solr. Run it and configure its files. You can start reading from here: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_6_0/tutorial.html If you look at that example you can customize it for a Solr instance according to your needs.
On the other hand if you don't want to have problems to open Solr project within your ide you can run *ant eclipse* or *ant idea* command (eclipse for Eclipse and idea is for Intellij IDEA) under lucene-solr folder. This will setup configuration files for your ide. However if you want to run Solr as a maven project instead of using ant you can read here: http://www.petrikainulainen.net/programming/maven/running-solr-with-maven/ It explains running Solr with maven. Example is for Solr 4.3.0 If you have any problems you can ask it.
