Hi Andy,

Thanks for clarifying the demo instructions!

Now, what about the NPE that Ken Munro cited (included below)?  I'm
encountering this too:

dpg% cd $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/
dpg% java -verbose org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create -index 
/opt/lucene/index
...
[Loaded java.io.RandomAccessFile from /usr/local/j2sdk1_3_1_02/jre/lib/rt.jar]
 caught a class java.lang.NullPointerException
 with message: null

Could that be related to the NPE problem discussed in the "PhraseQuery:
NullPointerException" thread, for which Ian offered a possible
solution, included here:

Thanks again for your help with this.
