Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-1449:
---------------------------------------------

bq. sharedLib only helps if you want the same plugins in every core (not just 
to reuse the same plugins in multiple cores. There's also no way to reload a 
plugin from the sharedLib (whereas the normal lib for a core does get reloaded 
when the core is reloaded)

OK, that's true.

bq. As i already said: that wasn't a particular goal, just a nice side effect - 
but FWIW: the regex based loading was actually the easiest way i found to 
identify multiple jar

I understand you want to make a core's lib directory configurable. That is 
fine. It is the regex based loading that makes me nervous. Why not load all 
jars in a specified directory?

> the idea has been discussed numerous times that it would be nice if there was

> style directories) by path  w/o needing to copy them to the "./lib" dir in

> reliable symlinks in zip files)
