No sorry i didnt mean that i was trying to extract the jars at all.
I meant the extraction of the original lucene source bundle. I have been developing in java for going on 5 years now, but am relatively new to Web Apps. I have some experience in TomCat from days as an undergrad and do understand that perhaps the questions i'm asking wernt exactly tech questions relating to Lucene, but rather Tomcat related enquiries. I think the reason i was struggling was that i havn't been able to locate the lucene war files as they dont seem to have come as part of the latest source drops.
The webapp is built from the source code, not included directly as a WAR. If you download the 1.4 binary distribution, luceneweb.war is pre-built at the top-level. If you grab the source release for 1.4, use Ant with the war-demo target:
% ant war-demo Buildfile: build.xml . . .
compile-demo:
[mkdir] Created dir: /Users/erik/Desktop/Downloads/lucene-1.4-final/build/classes/demo
[javac] Compiling 17 source files to /Users/erik/Desktop/Downloads/lucene-1.4-final/build/classes/demo
jar-demo:
[jar] Building jar: /Users/erik/Desktop/Downloads/lucene-1.4-final/build/lucene-demos-1.5- rc1-dev.jar
war-demo:
[war] Building war: /Users/erik/Desktop/Downloads/lucene-1.4-final/build/luceneweb.war
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
