On the client, or on the server?

We do throw an exception, although we can improve and be clearer.

It cannot.

It must be in a separate jar because both client and server use it,
and we don't want to ship a fat jar on the server with client classes
that won't be used and vice-versa.
As you point out, the Solr user should use a dependency management
tool -- it's 2023.
Not sure that we want to sprinkle checks in our code for dependencies
that should be there but are not.
We won't be able to cover all cases of missing jars (jetty-util,
jetty-io, jetty-http, etc.).
