Description

Solrcas currently supports running an embedded Solr server. This functionality should be removed and only used for testing.

The Solr documentation gives the following reasons not do use an embedded Solr server:
"The simplest, safest, way to use Solr is via Solr's standard HTTP interfaces. Embedding Solr
is less flexible, harder to support, not as well tested, and should be reserved for special circumstances."
(http://wiki.apache.org/solr/EmbeddedSolr)

In our case it has also the disadvantage that Solrcas is harder to use because it is not clear that all
the Solr and Lucene dependencies are not required.
