Issue
I am creating a search engine kind of project where i have to make a UI in JavaFX and use Apache Lucene for the queries. I am in a stage where the UI in JavaFX works perfectly on its own(without calling any Lucene methods) and the queries for the Lucene also work fine on its own(in a separate java project). When I try to combine the two by creating an Object of Lucene into the action performed when I press the ENTER button it crashes hard and the exception is far from confusing.
I am providing the code for both my Window and my LuceneTester classes and the exception thrown.
Main class:
public class Main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
new Window(primaryStage);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Window class
public class Window{
public Window(Stage primaryStage) {
VBox root = new VBox();
root.getChildren().addAll(setSearch(), setBody());
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setTitle("The Reuters Search Assistant");
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("icon.png")));
primaryStage.requestFocus();
primaryStage.setMinWidth(1280);
primaryStage.setMinHeight(720);
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();

Thanks in advance.
Solution
The ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.ParseException means that there is a missing Dependency from Lucene, so you should check your build-tools setup.
But it also means that an Exception occurred so you might want to doublecheck if the Lucene only Code really works.
