I am curious to hear how other Ubuntu users prefer to run their Solr these days. As of writing, the current Solr is 4.10.3 and Tomcat is at 7.0.57 and 7.0.15, both of which have Ubuntu packages for recent, albeit not the most latest version. It is not so hard to download Tomcat and manage to run it under a separately installed Tomcat container installed via packages tomcat7 or tomcat8, but it would of course be nice to have the most recent Solr automatically by installing solr-tomcat.
