Hi,
I think you should use another IndexWriter constructor:
IndexWriter(Directory d, Analyzer a, IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength mfl)
Constructs an IndexWriter for the index in d, first *creating it
if it does not already exist*.
Hope this helps.

<../../../../org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.html#indexExists%28java.io.File%29>*(),
and then determine what you want to do with the IndexWriter constructor.

I passed in false for create, and if there is no index yet, it fails as I
described. As soon as I p
