This sounds like a simple problem but i cannot for the life of me figure it out. Am running Fedora 7, JDK 1.6, and Tomcat 6.0 (although not being used for this). I download Lucene and followed the instructions that said to place the core and demo .jar files in my classpath. My classpath is set to java_dir/ and java_dir/lib. I placed the .jar files in java_dir/lib. Next, i made sure my JAVA_HOME was set. I then tried running the example under the "Get started", which included indexing a folder from the shell. I ran the command:
java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles /opt/lucene/src/ and got the following response: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:/usr/java/default/,file:/usr/java/default/lib/], parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}} at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh) It sounds like it can't find my Lucene class, but even when i manually point the classpath to the lib folder, i get the error. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lucene-implmentation-question-tf4481645.html#a12779646 Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
