Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-1449:
------------------------------------
I haven't tried out Hoss' patch, but based on the write-up, I'm +1.
Having a configurable list of directories to load from will clean up our
examples, reduce the size (or installation steps) of our example app. It will
allow various plugins to live in one place and be referred to without having to
copy files all over the place.
I think this is an important feature to get into 1.4.

> the idea has been discussed numerous times that it would be nice if there was
> a way to configure a core to load plugins from specific jars (or "classes"
> style directories) by path w/o needing to copy them to the "./lib" dir in
> the instanceDir.
> The current workaround is "symlinks" but that doesn't really help the
> situation of the Solr Release artifacts, where we wind up making numerous
> copies of jars to support multiple example directories (you can't have
> reliable symlinks in zip files)
