It’d certainly be easiest to just embed Jetty into your application. You don’t
need to have Jetty as a separate process, you could launch it through it’s
friendly Java API, configured to use solr.war.
If all you needed was to make HTTP(-like) queries to Solr instead of the full
admin UI, your application could stick to using EmbeddedSolrServer and also
provide a UI that takes in a Solr query string (or builds one up) and then
sends it to the embedded Solr and displays the result.
