Tomoko Uchida commented on LUCENE-9978:
---------------------------------------

First of all, we need to decide if distributing Luke as a standalone package does make sense to us.

>             Project: Lucene - Core
>          Issue Type: Task
>    Affects Versions: main (9.0)
>            Reporter: Tomoko Uchida
>            Priority: Major

> 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.
