Moving to Maven from Ant solr.build.dir Not Found
Hi Folks,
I've been tasked with moving a Solr project I know little about from Ant
to Maven. I've found all the dependencies I need and I'm not seeing any
errors in my IDE. Everything compiles and installs just fine. Problem
is, when I try to start things up in Jetty, I get errors. The first main
one I get is:
SEVERE: null:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: No system property or
default value specified for solr.build.dir value:${solr.build.dir}/
I have:
<properties>
<build-directory>../build/solr-maven</build-directory>
</properties>
in my pom.xml, so I'm not sure why this comes up. Anyway, it's quickly
followed by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrUpdateServlet
I'm not sure if the two are related, but when googling I can't seem to
find anyone with the same problem. For reference, I started the bulk of
my move from ant to maven using the instructions here
<http://uomesh.blogspot.com/2011/11/building-solr-as-maven-project.html>, and
then extrapolated from that to add in custom code and dependencies for
my project. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Eli

Alright, for those interested, I got this to work using the dependencies
I mentioned before by swapping in the web.xml from the latest nightly
build and passing in parameters for my custom stuff. I'm now running
Solr with all my dependencies neatly stashed away in Maven and custom
code just built on top without having to touch ant at all. I'll try to
write up a short guide on how to do this some time soon, as it's saving
us a whole ton of hassle in terms configuration for our project, and
I'll bet it can do the same for others.

Eli,
Sorry, I don't have any experience using Solr in this way.
Has anybody else here successfully run Solr when it's included as a war dependency in an external Maven-based war project, by running "mvn jetty:run exploded" from the external project?
FYI, The nightly download page I pointed you to includes a *binary* distribution, and you can run Solr using such a binary distribution by following the Solr tutorial I linked to. (This is the standard way to "get Solr running".)

RE: Moving to Maven from Ant solr.build.dir Not Found
Posted by Steven A Rowe <sa...@syr.edu>.
You didn't answer my question about where you are running "mvn jetty:run-exploded" - is it in your own project, or from the Solr sources?
Exactly which Solr Maven artifacts are you including as dependencies are in your project's POM? (Can you copy/paste the <dependencies> section?)

Have you seen <http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html>?
If you haven't already done so, you can download a recent 4.0 snapshot by following the "Download" link next to "Trunk (4.x-SNAPSHOT)" from <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/NightlyBuilds>.

Hey Steven,
I'm not modifying Solr sources at all. I just have a project that's built on top of Solr using ant. I'd like to move it to use maven instead of ant. The way I was going about this was just adding in all parts of Solr that it's using as dependencies in Maven. I wasn't using a local repo for this at all, and instead just pulling everything from http://repository.apache.org/snapshots. I'm using version 4.0-SNAPSHOT for everything right now.
I'm running mvn jetty:run-exploded after compiling right now (or as my build target in Eclipse as per that guide I originally posted).
Basically, I was just doing that to try to get Solr up and running. I haven't found too many clear guides on this point, so I could definitely be doing something wrong here.
I'm fine with maven being officially unsupported as long as I can get things working. I'm not doing anything too fancy or out of the ordinary, so I'm thinking this shouldn't be too bad.
Thanks again for the help!

Eli,
Could you please more fully describe what you're doing?
Are you modifying Solr sources, and then compiling & installing the resulting modifications to your local Maven repository?
Or do you have a project that doesn't include any Solr sources at all, but only depends on Solr artifacts pulled in via Maven?
Also, which branch are you using? Trunk (will be 4.0 when released)? If you're using branch_3x, my recommendation is that you instead use released artifacts instead of snapshots.
Where are you running "mvn jetty:run-exploded"?

Well, the official Lucene/Solr build is Ant. Using Maven to build Lucene/Solr is "officially unsupported". So depending on what you're doing, it may not be possible to avoid Ant.

Hi Eli,
The author of the blog post you mentioned appears to be unaware of the Maven POMs that are already included in Subversion for both Lucene and Solr. See <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#Maven>.
Because of the complex nature of the Ant build, which the Maven POMs cannot entirely duplicate, these POMs are not usable as the basis for IDE project bootstrapping.

Update: was able to get rid of the lack of SolrUpdateServlet by moving
back to version 3.5 from 4.0-SNAPSHOT (weird-- dunno why this is missing
in 4.0), but the build dir thing is still a problem. I'm really not even
sure what I should set that to.
