ready to roll

[Yonik Seeley <ys...@gmail.com>]

I think things are looking good enough now that a new user won't run
screaming, so unless there are objections, I'll post an announcement
to the Lucene list tomorrow.

If anyone sees some last minute touch-ups that can be done quickly,
let's get them done before the nightly build (7pm EST, 4pm PST)

I wish, and still think Tomcat is the right choice now the Solr is an
ASF product, but I don't have time -- this is my first week at a new
job ;(  Sorry...

Looks like the simplest way is to just create a ROOT webapp.
Any other opinions on whether we should?

I removed the javadoc context.
I'm not sure how to configure a different default start page in Jetty,
but if they are following the tutorial, they should be fine.

I'm of two minds... a pretty start page might be nice, *but* we also
want to avoid confusion about what is needed to use Solr... just
solr.war and the config in conf.  Adding more pages might obscure
that.

I don't have a strong opinion either way -- i just think if we're going to
start driving eyeballs to the example, the example shouldn't have any
broken links in it -- and ideally it should have a pretty start page with
a link to the admin page.

Development will continue... this isn't a release, it's just a point
where things are good enough to get other people involved.

We can switch to Tomcat at any time for the example - nothing is locked down.
I'd like to come to some sort of concensus on Tomcat vs Jetty, but I
don't think it's worth delaying anything over.

hmm.
I thought we were going to do the demo on tomcat?

Yoav??

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. -

The only thing i can think of is that the Jetty config for the example
install should be cleaned up a little bit.  The default page if you go to
http://localhost:8983/ is less then inviting, and since the jetty XML
config file explicitly tells it there is a is a bogus "/javadoc" webapp
the most appealing link on thta page takes you to a 404.

I've had the following thoughts rolling arround in the back of my head,
but i held of on figuring out how to do any of them because i thought we'd
probably wind up scrapping Jetty for tomcat...

1) Either kill the explicit config for the /javadocs webapp, or put the
actual lucene/solr javadocs in their

2) configure a default webapp containing a simple "welcome" page that
links to the website, the online tutorial, (the javadocs if local), and the
local admin page.
