Yep, as you've discovered, the import from ant build file doesn't work for the solr build.xml in eclipse.
There is an excellent how-to for getting Solr up and running in Eclipse for debugging purposes here: http://www.lucidimagination.com/developers/artiicles/setting-up-apache-solr-in-eclipse Once you have the setup in place from the above tutorial, you can then go to any of the Solr Jar files and attach the source, which will allow you to debug into and modify the Solr code. If you need to step into any of the lucene code you'll have to pull it down separately, but you can attach the same way. The last step (after you've made your changes) is that you would just need to rebuild with Ant (run "ant" from the directory containing the build.xml file to see the build options for Solr). I think that just running "ant example" there should do the trick. -Trey On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 12:07 PM, JavaGuy84 <bbar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Sorry for asking this very simple question but I am very new to SOLR and I > want to play with its source code. > > As a initial step I have a requirement to enable wildcard search (*text) in > SOLR.
