------------------------------------------------------------
I have a few questions in mind.
* Is this an issue which users have reported? in my experience with Solr
mailing list, I am yet to see a request where users wish to add arbitrary
directories to classpath
* How important is this feature to be in 1.4?
* Users in general have a lot of problems with classloading. Even with the
current support with one lib directory I have seen so many users having trouble
with classloading . This can only add to that confusion
I am not aware of any project which allows this level of configurability for
classpath. Most of the users never have to write custom components for Solr. In
our organization, I have encountered very few cases where they needed to add
custom jars to classpath. Even in cases where they did , they were some trivial
jars and it can be put into solr_home/lib anyway.
I am -1 on adding this to 1.4.

> the idea has been discussed numerous times that it would be nice if there was
> a way to configure a core to load plugins from specific jars (or "classes"
> style directories) by path w/o needing to copy them to the "./lib" dir in
> the instanceDir.
> The current workaround is "symlinks" but that doesn't really help the
> situation of the Solr Release artifacts, where we wind up making numerous
> copies of jars to support multiple example directories (you can't have
> reliable symlinks in zip files)
