Solr: How to compile the nightly example application from source

The place to get nightly builds of the Solr project is http://people.apache.org/builds/lucene/solr/nightly/

It has been down for maintenance for over 24 hours which turned out to be very bad timing for me as I had just deleted my not-too-recent copy with the intent of testing the latest and greatest. This left me without any Solr available. Not to worry, building from source is painfully easy thanks to the awesomeness of Ant. Here’s how:

# Get the source code from the subversion repository.
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk solrnightly
cd solrnightly

# This will launch the build process
ant example

# After the build finishes you can start the solr server.

# Move into the example directory...
cd example

# Now is the time to copy your solrconfig.xml and schema.xml
# into ./solr/conf

# And then start things up.
java -jar start.jar

The Path to Drupal - equating extensibility with success

Some time ago I wrote an article that looks deeply at the Drupal path system and shows how easy it is for new developers to hook into a running Drupal system. I explore the idea that this openness and extensibility is a key factor in winning large numbers of developers to work on Drupal, and that this is one of the reasons the project is succeeding. The paper is now available at Acquia, beautifully formatted as a technical whitepaper. I’m very happy with this article and am excited to finally have it available. It’s well worth the short survey you’ll be asked to complete before you can download.
