multicore solrconfig issues

[Audrey Foo <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I am using most recent drupal apachesolr module with solr 1.4 nightly build

* solrconfig.xml ==>
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/apachesolr/solrconfig.xml?revision=1.1.2.15&view=markup&pathrev=DRUPAL-6--1-0-BETA5
* schema.xml ==>
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/apachesolr/schema.xml?revision=1.1.2.1.2.30&view=markup&pathrev=DRUPAL-6--1-0-BETA5

and attempting to use the multicore functionality
* copied the txt files from example/solr/conf to
example/multicore/core0/conf
* copied the xml files above to example/multicore/core0/conf
* started jetty:  java -Dsolr.solr.home=multicore -jar start.jar

It throws these severe errors on bootstrap
SEVERE: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any suggestions, about what to try further?

Thanks
