My mistake. I guess I thought compiling and creating the dist still created a war for the client. The build was successful and of course the webapp folder was created. Again, my error.
I am only building Solr because I want to learn more through direct observation how things work. Hard to glean much from the JavaDocs. My immediate concern is debugging (from IntelliJ) two custom search components I am working on.

This is more current: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.apache.org_solr_HowToContribute&d=DwICaQ&c=ZgVRmm3mf2P1-XDAyDsu4A&r=ksx9qnQFG3QvxkP54EBPEzv1HHDjlk-MFO-7EONGCtY&m=L4vyJ1M3fKfl6vI6BIjWsg2z9KsxHuYzSaZXy4L-T2c&s=mFpiIPugnxZvDFFlBAUNAU_a9GUhcDCRHJ1AZtj7BM8&e= There has been no war file in the dist directory since version 5.0.0, and there has been no war file produced *at all* since version 5.3.0. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.apache.org_solr_WhyNoWar&d=DwICaQ&c=ZgVRmm3mf2P1-XDAyDsu4A&r=ksx9qnQFG3QvxkP54EBPEzv1HHDjlk-MFO-7EONGCtY&m=L4vyJ1M3fKfl6vI6BIjWsg2z9KsxHuYzSaZXy4L-T2c&s=O_5sS0kbtcPtQ2oTsB0H6K0Bp0K9lq4v0BBIJgX6YxY&e= If you run "ant server", then you will get a runnable server. Once that's done, type "bin/solr start" or "bin\solr start" to start Solr, depending on the operating system. I agree with Daniel on another point: If you aren't intending to immediately jump into editing the source code, then you should download the binary distribution, which is ready to run right away. You can also run "ant package" to create your own local copy of the binary distribution with a SNAPSHOT version number. Thanks, Shawn
