   1. Find the lucene jar file that your version of solr is using. You can do this by copying your solr.war file somewhere and unpacking it (jar xvf solr.war). Your lucene jar file should be in WEB-INF/lib. It is probably called something like lucene-core-2007-05-20_00-04-53.jar. Copy it somewhere easy to find.
-  2. Download a copy of lucene from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/java/ and unpack it. The file you're interested in is  contrib/misc/lucene-misc-VERSION.jar
