Hi Gasi, Please see page xxxii in LIA, section Author Online, and use that for LIA questions, so we don't bother others with LIA-specific stuff.
However, your problem doesn't have to do so much with LIA, either. It's a basic Java question, and it looks like the part that you have been misunderstanding is about what CLASSPATH is or how it is used. When you run "java -classpath lucene-1.4.3.jar lia.analysis.AnalyzerDemo", you are not compiling anything, you are trying to run AnalyzerDemo class, in the lia.analysis java package. Also, thar particular command assumes that file lucene-1.4.3.jar is in your current directory, and based on your error, it looks like that's not the case. Here are some links that may be worth checking out: http://www.google.com/search?q=java%20classpath%20tutorial Otis --- Gasi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hallo, > > > IBecause of less or better say no experience in Ant I try to run some > demo applications out of the LuceneInAction Examples folder.
