Thanks everyone!! Finally got a solution for this problem on Jetty Server.
Instead of setting Java system variables like
JAVA_OPTS=-Dsolr.solr.home="C:\SOLR\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\example\solr",
we can provide the vm arguments directly while starting the jetty server.
I am running jetty as follows -
java -Dsolr.solr.home=<PATH_TO_SOLR_HOME> -jar start.jar
After this I am not getting any error. :-D
Thanks,
Manu
