That's surprising to me, mostly because a number of the Solr wiki pages don't really make that strong of a case for it:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrInstall http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty Would it make sense to spell that out somewhere? I do notice that it seems like the version of Jetty that ships with Solr isn't the preferred one according to the wiki, so that would be an extra dependency for a config management system like Chef. Are there any other configuration choices that are blessed like this? JDK versions or sources (oracle vs. open), for example?
