Description

I saw this many months ago while working with a customer, but forgot to investigate further.

When using a classpath that just points to the webapp libs, you seem to get an error about not being able to find one of the jars in that folder. If you also specifically include the one solrj jar it complains about, everything works. WTF?
Does not work:

java -classpath example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/* org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkCLI -cmd bootstrap -zkhost 127.0.0.1:9983 -solrhome example/solr -runzk 8983

Works

java -classpath example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/*:example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/apache-solr-solrj-5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkCLI -cmd bootstrap -zkhost 127.0.0.1:9983 -solrhome example/solr -runzk 8983
