...unfortunately yes, the core solr code base has a dependency on the 
servlet API because it can parse requests coming from an 
HttpServletRequest.  If you are interested in providing a patch it would 
probably be relatively easy to refactor that parsing code into the 
src/webapp directory (which was intended to be the only place with servlet 
api dependencies)

yep, that's pretty much it.  EmbeddedSolr tends to be fairly advanced 
usage, for people you are not only familiar with java, but also have a 
particular need to embed directly into their app instead of runing SOlr as 
a server.
