Description

If coreRootDirectory is defined in solr.xml, new core creation command fails (in standalone Solr).

Looking at the code, it tries to populate solr_home, even if the core should go somewhere else. So, when the actual core creation command is called, it cannot find its pre-populated files and bails with

ERROR: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'test3': Unable to create core [test3] Caused by: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or '/tmp/test3'
