Thanks Tim. I copied my jar containing the plugin to the solr's lib directory as it wasn't finding my jar due to a bug in 4.3: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4791 but the ClassCastException remains. I'll try solr 4.2 and see if the plugin works in that.

Not elegant but worth trying, at least to rule that out.
