Ah, I see. This just means change into the directory via the command
line where you unpacked the installation.

I m new to lucene and want to clear about some questions.
When I unpacked the Lucene, which i downloaded from Apache site.
I ran the Build.txt file and there are five steps to set up lucene.
Lucene Build Instructions
$Id: BUILD.txt 476955 2006-11-19 22:28:41Z hossman $
Basic steps:
0) Install JDK 1.4 (or greater), Ant 1.6.2 (or greater)
1) Download Lucene from Apache and unpack it
Step 2) Connect to the top-level of your Lucene installation
Lucene's top-level directory contains the
build.xml file. By default,
you do not need to change any of the
settings in this file, but you do
need to run ant from this location so it
knows where to find build.xml.
If you would like to change settings you
can do so by creating one
or more of the following files and placing
your own property settings
in there:
~/lucene.build.properties
~/build.properties
lucene-x.y/build.properties
The first property which is found in the
order with which the files are
loaded becomes the property setting which
is used by the Ant build
system.
NOTE: the ~ character represents your user
account home directory.
3) Install JavaCC (optional)
4) Run ant
I am not getting the 3rd instruction. Can you explain this line to me.
And one question more. is it necessary to build lucene using Ant or
any other tool. What is the purpose of this?
