Searching in Lucene with Java

[greekman123]

Hi,

I'm new to Lucene 3.6.1 and Java general. I'm trying to put together a basic app to search pdf files, and am going through a example
I found on Google:

[URL="http://www.ehow.com/how_7607733_index-search-pdf-java-lucene.html"]

I've added: lucene-core-3.6.1.jar to the build path.

My initial attempt is fairly simple:

import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer;
 import org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter;


public class PDF {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		IndexWriter myWriter = new IndexWriter("index", new StandardAnalyzer(), true);
		}

}

The problem I'm facing, is I'm getting: The constructor IndexWriter(String, StandardAnalyzer, boolean) is undefined

Very confused at this point, any help you could offer would be appreciated.

If this is the API for the class used, I don't see a constructor that accepts those parameters.

Maybe you need to go through this tutorial Lesson: Classes and Objects (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language)

The first place to start should be the API: does that constructor exist in the API?
IndexWriter (Lucene 3.6.1 API)
The tutorial in the link you gave to ehow is quite poor that it is quite plausibly using old versions (2 or below) of Lucene and does not state what version it is using (and is most likely using a very old version).
