Help to get started with Apache Lucene in Java

I am using hibernate and java. I want to search data from a database and from some sites it advice to use Lucene. Can开发者_开发百科 someone explain how to get started with this or point to a good tutorial!!

Does it works with database as well??

Browse to Hibernate Search which should do everything you thought of (and all which you didn't, yet)

An official get started guide is always helpful, for any project. Also, check Hibernate Search if you want full text searching specific to Hibernate.

Here is simple tutorial Lucene tutorial and if you want to go deep I advise you to read Lucene in Action
