Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7850:
-----------------------------------

This is a nice improvement. Looks ok. Did not do actual testing.

You could also remove this part from solr.cmd, like you did in the linux script:
{code}
IF "!JAVA_MAJOR_VERSION!"=="7" (
    ...
)
{code}

> I've seen a fair number of users customizing solr.in.* scripts to make changes to their Solr installs.  I think the documentation suggests this, though I haven't confirmed.
> One possible problem with this is that we might make changes in those scripts which such a user would want in their setup, but if they replace the script with the one in the new version, they will lose their customizations.
> I propose instead that we have the startup script look for and utilize a user customization script, in a similar manner to linux init scripts that look for /etc/default/packagename, but are able to function without it.  I'm not entirely sure where the script should live or what it should be called.  One idea is server/etc/userconfig.\{sh,cmd\} ... but I haven't put a lot of thought into it yet.
> If the internal behavior of our scripts is largely replaced by a small java app as detailed in SOLR-7043, then the same thing should apply there -- have a config file for a user to specify settings, but work perfectly if that config file is absent.
