Lucene on Windows

[Charles Wunderlich <cw...@ClearlyUnderstood.com>]

I'm trying to implement Lucene and I'm having problems with the
installation. Please help.

 

I have windows 2003 server.

Installed Java (c:\jdk1.3.1_17)

Unzipped lucene-1.4.3.zip to d:\lucene

Copied lucene-1.4.3.jar and lucene-demos-1.4.3.jar to c:\jdk1.3.1_17\lib

 

I try to run the indexer from the command line (as shown on page 14 of
Lucene in action) but I don't get a response back. 

Java build/index d:\lucene

 

 

Thanks

 

Charles W

try putting the jar files in the jre/lib/ext folder of the jre used by the
system
or
try adding the path of the jar files like

d:\lucene\lucene-1.4.3.jar;d:\lucene\lucene-demos-1.4.3.jar;
to the classpath in the environmental variables.

I personally would have installed a much more recent version of  
Java.  It is up to version 1.5 (errr, 5.0!).

Lucene 1.9.1 is the latest version of Lucene.

I strongly recommend against moving 3rd party JAR files into your JDK  
lib directory.  Use the "java" command-line option to set a  
classpath, or the CLASSPATH environment variable instead.

This is _not_ the command-line shown on page 14 of LIA.  The command- 
line is this:

	java lia.meetlucene.Indexer build/index /lucene

Also read the "code conventions and downloads" section on page xxxii  
where we discuss classpath.  You did not mention downloading the  
Lucene in Action code, but to run our Indexer example, you'll need to  
download that and follow those instructions as well.
