I got this error in running heroku run rake sunspot:solr:run

You need a Java Runtime Environment to run the Solr server

is there a way i can install jre in heroku?

You cannot install the JRE on Heroku, and thus you cannot run Solr from a Heroku worker.

If you want Solr in Heroku, you'll have to use the Websolr addon, or start an EC2 server and run your own copy of Solr from there.

Doesn't Heroku offer JVM-based languages now? – echristopherson May 24 '12 at 19:06
sad to hear. though i tried running my own server for solr, it didnt work. maybe because of the reindexing issues. – Jude Calimbas May 26 '12 at 19:11
