If what you want to do is create an index that can later be used by Solr, then create the index with Solr. Solr has constraints about how a Lucene index is created that you would replicate and would create a huge amount of work.
SolrJ does have the 'embedded mode' in which the Solr itself runs in the same JVM as the client - i.e. no HTTP transport. It could be a useful way to do off-line index creation, I've never used it though so can't vouch for it.
