Problems From the Word Go
I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this, but I'm very
confused, and getting towards the end of my tether.
I need to install/compile and run Lucene on a Windows XP Pro based machine,
running J2SE 1.4.2, with ANT.
I downloaded both the source code and the pre-compile versions, and as yet
have not been able to get either running. I've been through the
documentation, and still I can find little to help me set it up properly.
All I want to do (to start with) is compile and run the demo version.
I'm sorry to ask such a newbie question, but I'm really stuck.
So if anyone can point me to an idiots guide, or offer me some help, I would
be most grateful.
Once I get past this stage, I'll have all sorts of juicer questions for you,
but at the minute, I can't even get past stage 1
Thank you in advance
Alex

Sure... and in fact that has been my intention all along. One idea
that I had with the Lucene book effort was to build a complete
Searchblox-like (no offense guys!) application that could be used as a
real intranet search system. It has turned out that this was too bold
of an idea to develop for the book because it is marginally useful in
the context of book examples since it would not be able to demonstrate
all the various bells and whistles without being contrived.
I have no problem with any code I've done for the articles or the book
becoming part of Lucene as examples. It will be a couple of months
before my plate is clear enough to package it up nicely enough though,
so for now the articles will have to suffice.
Rest assured, though, that my intention is to eventually flesh out a
really nice example web application that is easily usable. The current
example app is "usable" now, it just takes jumping through some odd
hoops to get running unfortunately.
By the way, my JavaDevWithAnt project has been freely available for
quite some time now, and in its current for it is an easy-to-build web
app that searches a Lucene index of a snapshot of Ant's documentation
(the HTML files). You can grab it here:

Eventually I'll beef that application up with new Ant 1.6 best
practices and replace Struts with Tapestry.

Erik,
Maybe you could donate some of those demo modules (and the accompanying
article/text) to Lucene, so they'd be incorporated officially in the
website?
Regards,
Terry

Unfortunately the demo that comes with Lucene is harder to run than it
really should be. My suggestion is to just get the Lucene JAR, and try
out examples from the many articles available. My intro Lucene article
at java.net should be easy to get up and running in only a few minutes
of having the JAR (and basic Java know-how with classpath and such).
