Thanks everyone for the advice. I checked out a recent version from SVN and ran:
ant clean example This worked just fine. However when I went to start the solr server, I get this error message: SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error loading class 'org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler' It looks like those files are there: contrib/dataimporthandler/src/main/java/org/apache/solr/handler/dataimport/ But for some reason, they aren't able to be found. Where would I update this setting and what would I update it to?
