: Looking at the dist directory on what I just downloaded, it appears that most : of the functionality required for writing code related to Solr would actually : be in apache-solr-core-4.0.0.jar, and depending on what you are doing, you may : need one or more of the other jars there. It looks like whatever : documentation you are reading is definitely out of date.
I'm confused ... how is this info out ot date? 1) it's in a section labled "Files included in an Apache Solr binary distribution" to try and make it clear that the "dist/" dir only exists in the binary distributions. the "dist/apache-solr-*.jar" files are in fact what you need to compile against if you are building a plugin (admitedly: you don't need to compile against *all* of them for a simple plugin). Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying "there is no problem" -- the README.txt should be targeting knew users/developers, not old farts like me who know all of this stuff in my sleep. If as a new uuser you are confused by README.txt then i am eger to change it to be less confusing, i'm just not sure i understand what the confusion is. -Hoss
