I was aiming simple... like some simple tweaks to SolrResourceLoader,
at least a way to allow plugins to all live separately and wired into
a single Solr instance without copying files and such.
What would it take to wire in OSGI (I know nothing about it)?

Even better, is probably something like OSGI where we can make sure
that we have some level of isolation between the class loaders so
that we can have different versions of different JARs w/o breaking
the application. Since it is clear that Solr is entering into a
"contrib" phase, it is only a matter of time before we start having
version clashes between libraries.

Wouldn't one solution to this bundling and aggregating/separating
of examples and plugins be made a lot less painful if
SolrResourceLoader could load from a list of directories rather
than only a single directory? What are the negatives to adding
that support? Let's keep solr.war lean and mean, with all
extensions simply appended to a list of JAR containing directories?
I know, we're recreating a container of sorts, but we already got
SolrResourceLoader, so maybe just some tweaks there can make
example bundling a lot more pleasurable?
