How to run Luke(Lucene tool)?

Question

I had downloaded 'Lukeall-3.5.0' on http://code.google.com/p/luke/downloads/list It's a JAR file , but i don't know how let it work? Can somebody show me the detailed steps to run Luke? Thank you!

Answer 1

You can run eg. from command line issuing java -jar lukeall-3.5.0.jar command

Answer 2

Tried everything including jarfix , javaW commandline but was not running.

Then I downloaded the jar from this link https://code.google.com/archive/p/luke/downloads. there are many .jar and .tgz file. I tried the latest one with "type-executable" label on it. And once it was downloaded somehow the extension got changed to .zip. 1) changed the extension back to .jar 2) right click open with -> Java(this was installed before)

Bingo! Luke opened up!
