Description

It would be great if the Lucene demo mentioned the fact that Apache Ant and Ivy need to be installed and configured to build the demo JARs. This could be listed in a prerequisites section.

It might also be a good idea to tell a first time user what ant target to use for building the JARs necessary for the demo.
