A Maven archetype that helps packaging Solr as a standalone
application embedded in Apache Tomcat
Hi all guys,
this short mail just to make the Maven/Solr communities aware that we
published an Apache Maven archetype[1] (that we lazily called
'solr-packager' :P) that helps Apache Solr developers creating
complete standalone Solr-based applications, embedded in Apache
Tomcat, with few operations.
We started developing it internally to reduce and help the `ops`
tasks, since it has been useful we hope it could be also for you, so
decided to publish it as oss.
Questions, feedbacks, constructive criticisms, ideas... are more than
welcome, if interested visit the github[2] page.
Have a nice day, all the best
Simo

I feel so.
Or at least say that it's a side production even if it's not an individual goal.

I added the dependency.
I copied in src/main/solr/commons the velocity config files.
I note that I had to deactivate the query-elevation which seems to expect a solr-home.

I should also say. At first I tried the multicore one and it failed on me... not too sure why but it did not have sufficient output.

One more anomaly I find: the license is in the output of the pom.xml.
I think this should not be the case.
*my* license should be there, not the license of the archetype. Or?

Hi Paul,
thanks a lot for your feedbacks, much more than appreciated! :)
Going through your comments:
* Yes it also packs a Solr webepp, it is needed to embed it in
Tomcat. Do you think it could be a useful feature having also webapp
.war as output? if it helps, I'm open to add it as well.
* src/main/webapp and src/main/resources are ignored because I didn't
use the war plugin, everything is configured in the assembly
descriptor ATM. As a workaround, you can add resources on src/solr/*
subdirectory and it will be included in the webapp; when the war
plugin will be plugged (previous comment), that issue should be
solved.
Can you tell me a little more about the velocity contrib, please? In
the multicore, I'd like the solr.xml will be generated during the
build-time analyzing the dependencies but I didn't figure out how to
do it. Many thanks in advance!

Simone,
It's good that you did so! I had found this three days ago while googling.
And I am starting to make sense of it. It works well.
Two little comments:
- you are saying that it packages a standalone multicore and a standalone app. But it actually also packs a webapp.
At first, I had rejected using that option because of the standalone output. I think a webapp is more usable. Just a matter of formulation
- I have found how to configure my schema and config, could add the velocity contrib to it, but I haven't yet found out how to add further resources. Both src/main/webapp and src/main/resources are ignored.
Help for the latter would be nice.
