plug-in, v.

repositories).
: Apparently here I need a user-id and pwd -- what is that or where do I get
one?
i'm not sure why you would be having problems with that ... i can't speak
for Eclipse, but I just double checked and it's definitely allowing
anonymous checkout from the command line. can you try that and see if it
works for you? (perhaps it's an issue with the server running subversion
1.5 and your plugin only working with 1.4 ?)

: poke around, looking for 2.2; I get to here:
: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_2_0/releases.html
:
: OK, cool, now I click on ==>> Both binary and source releases are
: available for download from the Apache Mirrors
Hmm ... this is actually the generic wording we currently use -- that page
provides generic info on "how to get official releases" ... nothing about
that link (or that page) suggests that it will take you directly to a
specific version of Lucene. The fact that the URL has 2_2_0 in it is just
an indicator that you are looking at the version of releases.html that was
inlcuded in 2.2.0.
If you can suggest better wording to make it clear to novice users that
page is *general* info about Lucene-Java Downloads, and not specific to
any one version, i'm certainly interested.
: Maybe the closest one could get is to rephrase (from now on) the
: sentence/link above, to read something like this:
:
: ==>> Both binary and source releases, for the <bold>current</bold>
: version, are available for download from the Apache Mirrors
But that statement wouldn't be true: older versions are in fact
available from the mirrors. Perhaps the most straight forward way to help
people in a similar situation in the future would be to make the archive
sub directory more promoment ... i'll try to figure out where that
README.html lives and update it with some more helpful verbage.
