Setting up apache solr in eclipse

I am trying to set up Solr in eclipse by following the instructions here: http://hokiesuns.blogspot.com/2010/01/setting-up-apache-solr-in-eclipse.html.

The distribution of Solr that I downloaded does not have WEB-INF directory. I have added the jars that I found in lib to build path. However I get invalid run configuration error.

Can anyone who has Solr set up in eclipse please confirm their settings and开发者_运维问答 configurations.

here's something that might help from a quick googling: In this sort of configuration Maven proves a life savior. Looking for a maven archetype (predefined project structure) I've found this. So in an empty dir try to run the mvn archetype:generate command they are quoting and finally if you are using eclipse run mvn eclipse:eclipse for the eclipse specific files so you can do Import > Existing Maven Projects from eclipse.

The problem was that I had not extracted the war.

As Jem pointed out , the .war exists in dist directory. However dist directory itself doesnt exists in the downloaded source :). You need to do

ant dist

in the apache folder to get this.

Hope that helps someone else. I was able to get solr up and running using the command line as well as eclipse.

Check the .war file in dist. It has a WEB-INF directory.

So extract the war file and use the files in the lib directory.

For this example I had to make a "classes" directory in WEB-INF
