Answer 1

That error means that is not an executable jar. Perhaps you should put all the jars in your classpath, then start with the demo at http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_0/demo.html .

Answer 2

Skaffman is correct. Here's a minimal Lucene application. If you want a self-contained search server, try Solr.
