Colin,
I've not used Eclipse in a long while, and I've not used the new Ant
project support it has. It sounds like Eclipse has issues with Ant
imports as you've surmised, and my recommendation is to simply set up
a normal Eclipse project. The source tree to Lucene is extremely
basic... src/java is the only path you need to add to build the core
Lucene library. For the BDBJE stuff, you'll want to check out the
latest source code of contrib/db where Andi has just committed the
BDBJE code, and add its source path(s) to your Eclipse project as well.
Not using the Ant project support should be just fine. I use
IntelliJ without running Ant through it. I simply use the command-
line to run Ant, and the IDE to do iterative development and unit
testing.

So far I've succeeded in grabbing the latest source (and I can build
with ant), but now I'm trying to open it in eclipse by creating a new
"Java Project from Existing And Buildfile," but when I attempt to open
build.xml, I get an alert telling me that the "Specified buildfile
does
not contain a javac task." Examining the 3 build files, I do see
that in
common-build.xml there appears to be a javac task there. I don't
know if
it's just that the eclipse ant import has trouble following
includes, or
if I'm missing something (I'm not that familiar with either ant or
eclipse).
What I'm really trying to do is create a jar with lucene and the
Berkely
DB JE code from Aaron Donovan (ported from Andi Vajda's BDB code).
If I
stick the source into the store/je directory, I get a bunch of errors,
and I'm sure I could eventually figure them all out, but my life would
be made much easier with a nice IDE to work in.
Thanks for any tips (I really hope that in the very near future I'll
actually be able to contribute something positive once I manage to get
this thing built).
