Sure... and in fact that has been my intention all along. One idea that I had with the Lucene book effort was to build a complete Searchblox-like (no offense guys!) application that could be used as a real intranet search system. It has turned out that this was too bold of an idea to develop for the book because it is marginally useful in the context of book examples since it would not be able to demonstrate all the various bells and whistles without being contrived. I have no problem with any code I've done for the articles or the book becoming part of Lucene as examples. It will be a couple of months before my plate is clear enough to package it up nicely enough though, so for now the articles will have to suffice. Rest assured, though, that my intention is to eventually flesh out a really nice example web application that is easily usable. The current example app is "usable" now, it just takes jumping through some odd hoops to get running unfortunately. By the way, my JavaDevWithAnt project has been freely available for quite some time now, and in its current for it is an easy-to-build web app that searches a Lucene index of a snapshot of Ant's documentation (the HTML files). You can grab it here: http://www.ehatchersolutions.com/JavaDevWithAnt Eventually I'll beef that application up with new Ant 1.6 best practices and replace Struts with Tapestry.

Re: Problems From the Word Go
Unfortunately the demo that comes with Lucene is harder to run than it really should be. My suggestion is to just get the Lucene JAR, and try out examples from the many articles available. My intro Lucene article at java.net should be easy to get up and running in only a few minutes of having the JAR (and basic Java know-how with classpath and such).

Re: Problems From the Word Go
Hi Alex,
I just installed Lucene one week ago on a W2K box and it took me some time to get it
running. But
now Lucene is fully integrated in our intranet. I index and search with Lucene our
menu, all
documents and the user profiles and display them according to user's access rights.
By habit I always try to compile the sources of such 'external modules' inside our
projects in order
to see at once whether things are incompatible or missing. Lucene did actually compile
very well as
Lucene is not depending on any other modules. At runtime, however, I always got
ClassNotFound
exceptions for classes which have been compiled and which existed at the needed
locations. This is
really strange.
I've first upgraded to 1.4.2 and installed then the Enterprise Edition.
I tried many other things, but the only way to get things working was listing the JARs
in the
compile class path in my IDE (for yours the inclusion in the environment classpath may
work) and the
listing of the same JARs in the runtime class path of my application server.
This way things worked fine.
I had more trouble getting PDFbox to run in order to index PDFs as it would never
compile as pdfbox
was depending on ant, ant on bsf, and so on.
In order to get that running I just placed the following JARs in my IDE's compile
classpath and run
the program.
IDE: lucene-1.3-final.jar;lucene-demos-1.3-final.jar;pdfbox-0.6.5.jar
At runtime I was required to place some more JARs in the runtime classpath of the
application
server:
Appserv:
lucene-1.3-final.jar;lucene-demos-1.3-final.jar;PDFBox-0.6.5.jar;log4j-1.2.8.jar
If you need to run Ant, then just add the Ant JAR in your classpathes and go ahead!
You'll then see
at compile and run time which classes are still needed and then it's up to you to find
and download
them.
Let me know if this helps you advance in the matter.
At the beginning it was a bit hard to get started, but once the demo is running one
progresses
really fast. Lucene is really great!

Please respond to
"Lucene Users List"
I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this, but I'm very
confused, and getting towards the end of my tether.
I need to install/compile and run Lucene on a Windows XP Pro based machine,
running J2SE 1.4.2, with ANT.
I downloaded both the source code and the pre-compile versions, and as yet
have not been able to get either running. I've been through the
documentation, and still I can find little to help me set it up properly.
All I want to do (to start with) is compile and run the demo version.
I'm sorry to ask such a newbie question, but I'm really stuck.
So if anyone can point me to an idiots guide, or offer me some help, I would
be most grateful.
Once I get past this stage, I'll have all sorts of juicer questions for you,
but at the minute, I can't even get past stage 1
Thank you in advance
Alex
