Description

When trying to run solr in embedded mode:

CoreContainer.Initializer initializer = new CoreContainer.Initializer();
CoreContainer coreContainer = initializer.initialize();
server = new EmbeddedSolrServer(coreContainer, "");

An exception is thrown in version 1.4.1, here is the stacktrace:
java.lang.VerifyError: class org.apache.solr.search.SolrIndexReader overrides final method setNorm.(ILjava/lang/String;B)V

It may be a class version issue with the released zip source code, but I am not sure. It looks like the release was not compiled properly?
