I too started using xindice a few days ago and i had tons of problems anyway i managed to solve all the problems - thanks to some kind souls :)
I looked through your doc and i suggest you to do the following, download the tomcat 4.1.29, it helps to resolve the endorsed dir issue, so you dont have to bother about the modifying your j2se installation. The docs in the developer guide is a little confusing or misleading... just substitute all the context (i.e. -c /db) with xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db where 8080 is the default port for tomcat. one other thing, you only need to set XINDICE_HOME and update your path to XINDICE_HOME/bin.
You should avoid using either the xindice-jar or xindice-war, rather download the xindice-src and build both xindice-jar and xindice-war because the src has the examples and config in them which i cant figured out why they are removed from the binaries?!
Finally, i dont use wintel, my environment is osx 10.3. i wish you luck. i am still trying xindice out and i will try to update the docs to help those newbie like me to have a smoother and better experience in xindice but it wont be soon though.
Wish you luck
