Lucene Demo Installation
sheikhsa has written a step by step installation of the
Lucene demo, which should help new users
wanting to get started on Lucene.
Also check out my ApacheCon talk for additional
demo capabilities related to term
vectors and span queries. It uses Maven, so it
is a little bit different to install, but
there are instructions provided.




I am using the jswdk-1.2.0 not tomcat
I successfully set the path and its quering in dos prompt but when am using this command java org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexHTML -create -index {index-dir} then its throwing nullpointer exeception.
can you help me please
It’s best if you ask questions on the User mailing list for Lucene.
