There is no need to extract Lucene's JAR file.
Your questions indicate that you have some Tomcat and Java web application learning to do and this forum is not the most appropriate place to ask. Lucene includes a web application demo that you could try deploying by following the steps here: http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/demo3.html
Just drop luceneweb.jar into CATALINA_HOME/webapps, restart Tomcat and try hitting http://localhost:8080/luceneweb and pressing the search button - you will get an error unless you've followed all the steps, but you should not get a class cast exception and Lucene will be working properly (now follow the steps to build an index and configure the pointer to it).

Well when i extracted it, it created the org/apache/lucene directories in the public_html directory. When i try to compile any of the source it just throws numerous errors. I've got the classpath set to web-inf/classes.
Have i extraced it to the wrong directory?

Huh? Lucene certainly deploys just fine in Tomcat web applications (in a WAR under WEB-INF/lib). Could you elaborate on what you mean here?
