That works - excellent!

Now I'm trying to build a distribution from trunk that I can use for prototyping, and noticed a few things...

1. From a fresh check-out, you can't build from the trunk/solr sub- dir due to dependencies on Lucene classes. Once you've done a top- level "ant compile" then you can cd into /solr and do ant builds.

sigh. Hopefully we'll shake these things out better over time. This is just one of the growing pains of the lucene/solr merge.

2. I noticed the run-example target in trunk/solr/build.xml doesn't have a description, so it doesn't show up with ant -p.

Fixed.  It was/is at least documented in the usage (just type ant).

3. I tried "ant create-package" from trunk/solr, and got this error near the end:

/Users/kenkrugler/svn/lucene/lucene-trunk/solr/common-build.xml: 252: /Users/kenkrugler/svn/lucene/lucene-trunk/solr/contrib/ velocity/src not found.

I don't see contrib/velocity anywhere in the Lucene trunk tree.

Ok, I'm looking into this and will clean it up.  Darn you maven!

What's the recommended way to build a Solr distribution from trunk?

Good question.  Anyone...?  :)

You've done it as I have, sorry for the too brief instructions earlier - I have run "ant compile" from the top, but didn't realize it was necessary first.
