How to run SolR in maven for tests that need to do some searches

Here’s a Maven pom section that launches Jetty instance with Apache SolR deployed just before tests and stops it after integration tests are finished.
You can select what what war will be deployed and where will be SolR home located (of course you need to prepare it first).
Hope you find it useful:
