I think it's actually URLDirectory:

I think it would be cool if Lucene included a class that facilitated
creating a RAMDirectory from an index in a JAR file, for the kind of
point-and-click startup that Bill is talking about.

You'll have to implement org.apache.lucene.store.Directory to load the
index from the JAR file. Take a look at FSDirectory and RAMDirectory for
some more details.

Then you have either load the JAR file with java.util.jar.JarFile to get
to the files or you can use Classloader#getResourceAsStream to get to
them.

How to add a Lucene index to a jar file?

2005-01-17 Thread Bill Janssen
Hi.

I'd like to package up a Lucene index with the Lucene class files and
my own application classes into a single jar file, so that it forms a
"double-clickable" single-file Java application that supports
searching over the index.  However, I'm not sure how to read the index
(create an IndexReader) if the files that form the index are packaged
into the same jar file with the code.

If anyone could shed some light on how to do this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Bill
