Ok, found that core/build.xml was the place to edit. The jar is now in the
classpath, but I still get the same error:
Throwable #1: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An SPI class of type
org.apache.lucene.codecs.Codec with name 'Hello' does not exist. You need
to add the corresponding JAR file supporting this SPI to your classpath.
The current classpath supports the following names: [SimpleText, Asserting,
CheapBastard, FastCompressingStoredFields,
FastDecompressionCompressingStoredFields,
HighCompressionCompressingStoredFields, DummyCompressingStoredFields,
Lucene53]
...which means - I assume - that there is some problem with HelloCodec not
being loaded or recognized as a Codec.
Sincerely,
Sigbjørn Lund Olsen
