Hello,

I am trying to understand solr 5.1 (trying to overcome some problems I
have with solr 3.6) by experimenting with the distributed package, but I
am having problems using a "solr.ICUCollationField" field.

Trying to create the collection using
bin/create_collection aborts, because it says it does the classloader
failed to find "solr.ICUCollationField".

The documentations says:
###### QUOTE #######
solr.ICUCollationField is included in the Solr analysis-extras contrib -
see solr/contrib/analysis-extras/README.txt for instructions on which
jars you need to add to your SOLR_HOME/lib in order to use it."
####################

The mentioned README.txt file says:
###### QUOTE #######
ICU relies upon lucene-libs/lucene-analyzers-icu-X.Y.jar
and lib/icu4j-X.Y.jar
####################

Well, that's a bid odd in so far as there is no SOLR_HOME/lib directory.
When I start solr with the "verbose" flag it says:

SOLR_HOME = (...)/solr-5.1.0/server/solr

However, what I did is first symlink and then copy the respective
libraries to solr-5.1.0/server/lib/ext. That leads to the server not
starting at all. I also tried
solr-5.1.0/server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib, but that does not make
any difference at all.

Then I had a look at the example configurations how it's done there and
notices the <lib> tags in the respective solrconfig.xml files. But the
process still fails, even though the logs indicate that the .jar files
*did* load.

There is a message:
201946 [qtp1055930828-14] INFO  org.apache.solr.core.SolrConfig

alyzers-icu-5.1.0.jar' to classloader

and later:
202810 [qtp1055930828-14] ERROR org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer
[booklooker shard2  booklooker_shard2_replica1] – Error creating core
[booklooker_shard2_replica1]: (...) Caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: solr.ICUCollationField

So the respective jar files have been added to the class loader, but it
does not find the field? Well, the class solr.ICUCollationField itself
should be found somewhere in the org.apache.solr tree. Not in the
org.apache.lucene tree and certainly not under com.ibm.icu4j. But I
can't find the proper jar file for it...

It would nice if someone could tell me what's wrong here.
