David Smiley commented on SOLR-2588:
------------------------------------
I'm surprised velocity became a core dependency, but nonetheless I think it
should be possible to use Solr in an embedded fashion without pulling in
extraneous dependencies like velocity and others. What if these response
writers were initialized on-demand? This would increase startup time &
decrease memory usage just a little since most people aren't actually going to
use all response writers that Solr supports. I'm willing to put together a
patch.

> Fix For: 3.4, 4.0

>
> In 1.4. it was fine to run Solr without Velocity on the classpath. However,
> in 3.2. SolrCore won't load because of a hard reference to the Velocity
> response writer in a static initializer.
