Description

solr.xml's sharedLib is a great way to add plugins that should be shared across all cores/collections.

For increased flexibility I would like for it to take a list of paths. Then I'd put Solr's own contrib libs in one shared folder "solrJars" and custom plugins with deps in another "customerJars". That eases Solr upgrades, then we can simply wipe and replace all jars in "solrJars" during upgrade.

I realize that solr.xml is going away, and so the same request will be valid for whatever replaces solr.xml, whether it be system prop or properties file.
