It's been working for me. One thing to look out for might be the url
you're using in SolrUtil.getSolrServer()? The url you use for
reindexing won't be the same as the one you use to swap cores. Make
sure it's using "admin/cores" and not "production/admin/cores" or
"reindex/admin/cores".
Sorry if this is the obvious first thing you looked at already. :)
It's the first thing that came to my mind.
