Hello everyone, my name is Lars. I'm new to Java and especially to Lucene. For your understanding I tell you in short what I'm about to do:
I'm a student from Germany and currently I'm working at our library as a student worker. I'm study Bioinformatics/Biosystemengineering and because of that the leader of our library asked me to help him out with some technical things on our homepage. We currently only have a MySQL based search script for our users and now want to add a fulltextsearch to higher the performance of the searching results for our users. So my idea was it to use Lucene, what I think is the best way. I don't want to use the Zend framework for that. I need to program with Java in any way. I want to build a small program working in the background with a frontend for the users. Now what I did until here: 1. I downloaded Lucene 3.1.0 core (I think it's actually the newest?) 2. I searched for a small tutorial on the web to get into the material and found the page http://www.lucenetutorial.com 3. I copy-pasted the example code from the page to see if I'm able to run the code exactly Here is my first problem: I'm not able to compile the code. The problem lies in the imported packages. I tried to compile the code with the following commandline: javac TextFileIndexer.java -classpath ../Lucene/lucene-core-3.1.0/org/apache/lucene i tried multiple path to the lucene package but the result was ever the same: TextFileIndexer.java:3: package org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard does not exist import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer; ^ TextFileIndexer.java:4: package org.apache.lucene.document does not exist import org.apache.lucene.document.Document; ^ TextFileIndexer.java:5: package org.apache.lucene.document does not exist import org.apache.lucene.document.Field; ^ TextFileIndexer.java:6: package org.apache.lucene.index does not exist import org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter; ^ TextFileIndexer.java:17: cannot find symbol symbol : class IndexWriter location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer private IndexWriter writer; ^ TextFileIndexer.java:69: cannot find symbol symbol : class IndexWriter location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, new StandardAnalyzer(), true, IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.LIMITED); ^ TextFileIndexer.java:69: cannot find symbol symbol : class StandardAnalyzer location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, new StandardAnalyzer(), true, IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.LIMITED); ^ TextFileIndexer.java:69: package IndexWriter does not exist writer = new IndexWriter(indexDir, new StandardAnalyzer(), true, IndexWriter.MaxFieldLength.LIMITED); ^ TextFileIndexer.java:89: cannot find symbol symbol : class Document location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer Document doc = new Document(); ^ TextFileIndexer.java:89: cannot find symbol symbol : class Document location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer Document doc = new Document(); ^ TextFileIndexer.java:95: cannot find symbol symbol : class Field location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer doc.add(new Field("contents", fr)); ^ TextFileIndexer.java:100: cannot find symbol symbol : class Field location: class com.lucenetutorial.apps.TextFileIndexer doc.add(new Field("path", fileName, ^ TextFileIndexer.java:101: package Field does not exist Field.Store.YES, ^ TextFileIndexer.java:102: package Field does not exist Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED)); ^ 14 errors So my questions: Can you please help me little bit and tell me why I'm not able to compile the code? And tell me if Lucene is the best way for that task oder should I use a Lucene port like Solr? What files do I need to give with when I wrote an application using Lucene? Thank you very much for your help.
