Apache Solr quickstart tutorial - error while loading main class SimplePostTool

Question

I am following Apache Solr quickstart tutorial. The tutorial comes across indexing a directory of rich files which requires implementing java -Dauto -Drecursive org.ap

Answer 1

This one worked for me

java -classpath example\exampledocs\post.jar -Dauto=yes -Dc=gettingstarted -Ddata=files -Drecursive=yes org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/

Answer 2

I implemented java -classpath dist/solr-core-*jar -Dauto -Drecursive org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/ rather than java -Dauto -Drecursive org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/. The latter assumes that you have already set the environment for SimplePostTool using export CLASSPATH=dist/solr-core-4.10.2.jar whereas if you do not set the environment, there is no option other than implementing java -classpath dist/solr-core-*jar -Dauto -Drecursive org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/

Thanks to the Apache user mailing list.
