Hello I am trying to run solr from eclipse. I understand that we need to set up the solr home.
If I use the web.xml to set up it works 

<env-entry>
   <env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
   <env-entry-value>/put/your/solr/home/here</env-entry-value>
   <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>

But if I try to use the same from eclipse it fails by setting the Runtime->Tomcat Configuration->Environment or Runtime->Tomcat Configuration->Argument VM Arguments.
I used -Dsolr.data.dir=/home/test/test
May I know why this is not working?

    The environment variable that you need to set is -Dsolr.solr.home. Looks like you’re setting the -Dsolr.data.dir variable in eclipse, which is the location where you want to put the index. That kind of configuration works if you have a placeholder like this

    <dataDir>${solr.data.dir}</dataDir>

    in your solrconfig.xml, but anyway you need to set the solr_home first.
