I’ve downloaded Lucene jar file. I’m including it in my classpath to run my Lucene application.
However, I now need to apply a patch. Should I download the Lucene sources, apply the patch and compile.. right ? I cannot use anymore the jar…
thanks
ps. I also need to know how to apply patches in java actually… what’s the command from terminal ?
There may be alternative approaches, but creating a completely new jar file would be your best bet, IMO. It’ll be a lot harder to mess up with subtle issues than providing a second jar file to take priority for just some classes, etc.
