Yes, I'm not real happy with the statics... way back when this was a two week prototype hack, everything went into SolrCore (well, everything except the schema). Over time, I've migrated stuff out, but it's still not clean. I briefly thought about going down the road of using something like Spring for configuration and component management, but being a Spring novice, it didn't really fit in that rapid prototype timespan. It might make sense for some future version of Solr... -Yonik
