Daniel, Thank you very much for replying. I've managed to get to the stage of running the demo and can bring up the search page. But I get an internal server error saying that it was unable to compile the class for JSP because 7 packages were not found:
-org.apache.lucene.analysis.*; -org.apache.lucene.document.*; -org.apache.lucene.index.*; -org.apache.lucene.search.*; -org.apache.lucene.queryParser.*; -org.apache.lucene.demo.*; -org.apache.lucene.demo.html.Entities; I know that these are imported at the top of results.jsp but where should they be places within the Jakarta directory and where in lucene can I obtain them from ? Thanks again, Saima -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Calvo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 February 2002 20:16 To: Lucene Users List Subject: RE: Lucene beginner Hi, You have to use the IndexHTML program to create an index and then you can use this index with the demo. Something like 'java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML [-create] [-index <index>]<root_directory>'. You need lucene and lucene-demo jars in your classpath. If needed, you can use -cp to provide them (java -cp "lucene-demos-1.2-rc3.jar;lucene-1.2-rc3.jar" org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML ....) What's exactly the problem you're having? Regarding Ant, it is a Java based build tool (like make) You don't need to use it unless you want to build lucene. If you're using lucene's binary distribution you only have to have lucene's jar in your application classpath.
