Maven is not the official build system. It is included as an alternate option, but doesn't get the same attention as the official system. The maven output gave you the location of more details about the tests that failed. Look there for more information. Or install/use ant, which is the official build system for Lucene and Solr, and gives more information about test failures as part of the build output. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute Sometimes Solr tests fail, even on released code. Such failures are investigated. Sometimes the test itself is faulty, sometimes it's the code that is being tested. Sometimes the test framework randomizes a combination of settings that doesn't actually work. Unless you need to have access to the source code for learning purposes, or because you need to engage in development related to Solr, download the binary release and don't worry about compiling it.
