   I'm happy to write them in Java.

   Off the top of my head, I guess there's three approaches to that sort of 
thing (there could well be others or more refined takes on these).
   
   1. Use the `/_introspect` endpoints to drive it
   2. Do some code analysis (e.g. use reflection) to drive it
   3. Generate tests (or stubs) from the OpenAPI spec - I see OAG is already 
here 
https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/6d838cb3de9774e1a17208a78210f8968ce4e959/solr/solrj/build.gradle#L131
   
   I think the problem with 1 and 2 is that something dynamic like that is 
probably quite hard to unpick if something does go wrong, e.g. if it misses a 
set of endpoints will it be obvious? Plus if any endpoints have precondition 
(collection existing) then it would still need extra context to drive it.
   
   The problem with 3 is how you manage the generated source and whether you're 
able to generate something that's ready to use, or if it's just generating 
stubs that require manual intervention to turn into usable tests. If it's the 
former then it's great, because changes to the spec can automatically generate 
updated tests. With the latter it can be a good starting point for writing 
tests normally.
   
   ATM that is what I think I will do - use the spec to generate an initial set 
of test stubs so that I cover all the existing endpoints, but I'm not planning 
on putting the generator into the PR (unless it is in state of producing ready 
to use output anyway).
