Lucene beginner

[Saima Shaikh <Sa...@paretopartners.com>]

I am new to Lucene and am quite overwhelmed with the whole installation and
deployment process. I am trying to get the web application demo going but am
stuck at the stage  where you have to create the index as I am a bit
confused at the instructions. Could someone please clarify this part for me
?

Also, I have not yet installed Ant. What is it and do I need to install it ?

Thanks very much.
Saima

RE: Lucene beginner

[Daniel Calvo <dc...@ig.com.br>]

Hi,

You have to use the IndexHTML program to create an index and then you can use this index with the demo. Something like
'java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML [-create] [-index <index>]<root_directory>'. You need lucene and lucene-demo jars in your
classpath. If needed, you can use -cp to provide them (java -cp "lucene-demos-1.2-rc3.jar;lucene-1.2-rc3.jar"
org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML ....)
What's exactly the problem you're having?

Regarding Ant, it is a Java based build tool (like make) You don't need to use it unless you want to build lucene. If you're using
lucene's binary distribution you only have to have lucene's jar in your application classpath.

Regards,

--Daniel
