Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1449:
------------------------------------

bq.  We can have some instructions or scripts (I assume we don't want ant) to 
copy the jars to the correct places for running solr-cell examples. Is there a 
problem with that?

For the same reason we have an example at all I guess - a better out-of-the-box 
experience.

IMO, Solr *is* an enterprise search server, not a bunch of jars you wire 
together yourself to create one.  It would be nice if we could do database 
import from the same example server... but I think JDBC driver issues (and the 
necessity to have a database to connect to?) make this tougher.
