Move VelocityResponseWriter from contrib/ to core
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-1957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1957
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Response Writers
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: Erik Hatcher
            Assignee: Erik Hatcher
            Priority: Minor


The VelocityResponseWriter deserves to be a first-class citizen in Solr, and 
not tacked on.  The benefit is that UI can be generated right from Solr cleanly 
and easily via simple templating.  The longer term goal is to migrate from the 
Solr admin interface from inflexible built-in JSPs to a cleaner layout Velocity 
set of templates that can be overridden externally if desired (for styling, or 
adding in plugin UI).

Another large benefit to having VrW in core is that plugins can then ship with 
Velocity templates in their own .jar files to provide their own bits of UI or 
templated response capabilities (text fragments or full HTML responses).

The impact of this change is a slightly larger solr.war with the additional 
Velocity dependencies added-in.
