Hi Eric,
Take a look at http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/releases.html
Clicking through to the appropriate mirror, download/unzip
lucene-2.0.0.zip. In it you'll find the jars, contrib, README, demo,
etc. It really should contain everything you need outside of the
actual Lucene source to get started.
I appreciate your comments on the docs. You have many good
suggestions for improvements, especially the definitions, etc. Some
of your questions can best be answered by searching for those terms
(on Google/Yahoo/Search Engine of Choice) and maybe doing a little
reading on Information Retrieval, but I agree a definitions page
would be useful as well as some info on what pieces are important to
Lucene. One of my hopes/intents/goals for Lucene in '07 is to
increase the level of documentation, both at the lower level for
developers/committers and at the higher level for end users. As with
all open source, however, this takes time and a group effort.
Please contribute back any suggestions that you think will clear
things up. See http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToContribute
for info on how to give back to Lucene.
As always, search this list and ask questions.

I'm sorry you are not finding what you need. The snowball analyzers
come in a separate jar, in the release zip, under the contrib/
snowball directory. You may also want/need the analyzers in contrib/
analyzers for other languages. The README delivered w/ the release
probably should be updated to state that this is where you find the
additional analyzers. I will do that shortly (which doesn't help
you, but should help others going forward)
Well, I looked everywhere I could think of for this contrib
directory, with
no luck. I ended up having to go install subversion on a separate
machine
(I'm working on a HPUX machine that I don't control), check out the
sources, build them (by hand, since the machine doesn't have ant
either)
and make my own tarball. ugh.
This was much more difficult than it should have been, but at least
I think
I got it working.
