Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-2588:
------------------------------------
Sorry - I missed this when it first got posted, and David's comment bumped
it... it was intentional to make Velocity a core component as the idea being
that we'd use it for built-in admin UI. So far we're only using it for the
/browse interface though.
I get the argument that Velocity ideally shouldn't be required to "embed" Solr
though. I'm ok with the Velocity writer creation either being in the try/catch
as Ryan posted, or pulling it out of the default writers and having it be
explicitly configured in solrconfig.xml for our example app.

> Fix For: 3.4, 4.0

>
> In 1.4. it was fine to run Solr without Velocity on the classpath. However,
> in 3.2. SolrCore won't load because of a hard reference to the Velocity
> response writer in a static initializer.
