    Description

      Thanks to LUCENE-9448, we now have a neat gradle task to assemble a standalone Luke package.

      I think it would make sense to distribute the standalone "Luke application" that contains its executable-jar and minimum dependencies to run it, as it used to be, on Lucene download page ( https://lucene.apache.org/core/downloads.html ).

      Pros:

      • Easy to understand for users who need it
      • No need to rely on strange hacks to discover dependencies (jars) for running it

      Cons:

      • Duplication of many jars (analyzers, queries, codec, etc.)

       

      Tasks

      • make the distribution package (zip file); place it under proper location with gradle assemble task
      • upload the artifact (release candidate) to the Apache file server along with other Lucene artifacts
      • include the artifact url in the release vote emails
      • upload the artifact (release module) to the Apache file server along with signature/checksum files for it
      • put links to the artifact and its signature files on the Lucene download page
