Really? Both Jetty and Tomcat have corresponding wiki pages for installation
instructions. Solr isn't really biased towards any of them.

No need to change. Both work great. If it is any consolation, we (AOL) use
Tomcat and I believe Lucid's certified Solr distribution also ships with
Tomcat. Jetty is just smaller and easier to embed and therefore Solr uses it
for testing and examples, though there are lots of shops which use the Jetty
shipped with Solr releases.
