             Summary: [DISCUSS] Make Luke as a standalone package distribution
                 Key: LUCENE-9978
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9978
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: main (9.0)
            Reporter: Tomoko Uchida


Thanks to LUCENE-9448, we now have a neat gradle task to assemble a standalone Luke package.

I think it would make sense to distribute the standalone "Luke application" that contains its executable-jar and minimum dependencies to run it, as it used to be, on Lucene download page ( [https://lucene.apache.org/core/downloads.html] ).

Pros:
 - Easy to understand for users who need it
 - No need to strange hacks to discover dependencies (jars) for running it

Cons:
 - Duplication of many jars (analyzers, queries, codec, etc.)

 

Meanwhile I have little idea of what changes are required on the release procedure and the download page; helps from devs with knowledge is appreciated.
