newbie question on Mac OS X

[Xing Li <xi...@mac.com>]

1) Downloaded 1.4.3 src

2) ran ant... everything builds

3) $ cd builds

4) $ java -jar lucene-1.5-rc1-dev.jar
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
lucene-1.5-rc1-dev.jar

I haven't build anything java for almost 5 years so not sure what it  
means. Did a good search online on the error and it just confused me  
even further.

Any help would be appreciated.

Xing

Make sure you run "ant dist" so that everything gets built. There are  
demo source files that do basic things like index and search files.  
Add the lucene-demos jar to your classpath, (or specify on your  
command line) then run:

java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles   <directory containing your  
files to index>

I'd recommend the "Lucene In Action" book, I found it very helpful  
for getting started.

Which main class would you expect to run ?????
I don't think there's one.
Lucene is a library.

PS: this has nothing MacOSX specific
