Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library written in Java.
This README file only contains basic setup instructions. For more comprehensive documentation, visit:
- Latest Releases: https://lucene.apache.org/core/documentation.html
- Nightly: https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Lucene/job/Lucene-Artifacts-main/javadoc/
- New contributors should start by reading Contributing Guide
- Build System Documentation: help/
- Migration Guide: lucene/MIGRATE.md
- Install OpenJDK 21.
- Clone Lucene's git repository (or download the source distribution).
- Run gradle launcher script (
gradlew).
We'll assume that you know how to get and set up the JDK - if you don't, then we suggest starting at https://jdk.java.net/ and learning more about Java, before returning to this README.
Bug fixes, improvements and new features are always welcome! Please review the Contributing to Lucene Guide for information on contributing.
