Re: Problems From the Word Go

[Erik Hatcher]

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).

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
