What do people think about a downloadable tutorial or demo that
included Tomcat or Jetty, limiting the requirements to Java5 and
simplifying setup for new users?
Steps with demo bundle:
- Install Java 5
- unpack solr-demo.zip
- ./start
Steps w/o demo bundle:
- Install & configure Java5, svn, ant

The "core" binary distribution of tomcat weighs in at 6MB, not too bad.

Instead of a script this could be a really simpl

Jetty would be better than Tomcat. Tomcat is a bear compared to Jetty.

By "standard download" do you mean binary distribution, or the svn repository?
I'm not sure what a full binary distribution should look like yet...

Binary distribution: nightly build and releases.
Why not use Jetty instead of Tomcat

As for seeding data into the demo. I think we should include a script that

some sample data. Users can optionally run that script to get started

But we should also include instruction and sample files on how to load in

OK, I've messed around with the latest version of jetty6 a bit, and it

I'll plead ignorance: I haven't had experience with Jetty or recent
versions of Tomcat.
I wouldn't mind seeing what you can put together, and I agree that all
else being equal, we should prefer ASF projects.
Perhaps the bundled appserver shouldn't even be a minimal install

It would be nice if the demo can also be used as "Solr in a box", ie
people can put in their own schema and then load in data and have
a working application.
