Hello Ken,
"ant tar" produces full installation of nutch - it includes also *.war file but you do not have to use it if you do not plan to deploy search frontend. But majority of other directories included would be important - bin for nutch shell script, conf for configuration files or plugins for nutch plugins. I would use standard nutch tar file as installation in your case (maybe throwing away nutch*.war file if you really want to).

Hi all,

What's the best way to deploy a customized version of Nutch on a server, where it only crawls/indexes (no search support)?

The .war Ant build bundles up a bunch of stuff we don't need, and sticks things in .jsp-specific directories.

But an initial quick attempt at hacking up an Ant build to create a deploy folder with just the .jars we need has met with numerous problems, ranging from classpath-related stuff (works in the main .jar manifest, not on the command line) to head scratching over why nutch.jar includes only the nutch-default.xml & nutch-site.xml conf files (e.g. it doesn't have regex-urlfilter.txt, which we need), while nutch.war has a bigger set (including these three).

So is the best approach to just modify Nutch's .war Ant build for our purposes, even though we're using Eclipse to build/debug portions of the code?

Thanks for any advice,

-- Ken
