> The solr tarball (and docker container) ships with several contribs, but adding them to the classpath has earlier involved inserting {{<lib>../../../foo.jar</lib>}} entries into solrconfig. There is also the {{<sharedLib>}} config in solr.xml available as {{{}-Dsolr.sharedLib=/my/folder,/my/other/folder{}}}. Finally we also have package manager with own classloaders of course. We'll live with all of these for some time, so let's make each one more pleasant to use.
> Today, to add a contrib to path you would add both {{dist/foo*.jar}} and {{contrib/foo/lib/*.jar}} to classpath. Sometimes perhaps more.
> In this Jira I'd like to make it much easier for users to add a contrib to path by its name. Goal is for something like
> {code:java}
> SOLR_MODULES=langid,extraction bin/solr start -c {code}
> The bin/solr script would have a map of contrib to lib-folders, and add those as {{sharedLib}} entries, possibly appending to the user-supplied list of sharedLib?
