Better error handling and javadocs around "exhaustive" doc making.

LUCENE-849: 
1. which HTML Parser is used is configurable with html.parser property.
2. External classes added to classpath with -Dbenchmark.ext.classpath=path.
3. '*' as repeating number now means "exhaust doc maker - no repetitions".

3/22/07

-Moved withRetrieve() call out of the loop in ReadTask
-Added SearchTravRetLoadFieldSelectorTask to help benchmark some of the FieldSelector capabilities
-Added options to store content bytes on the Reuters Doc (and others, but Reuters is the only one w/ it enabled)

3/21/07

Tests (for benchmarking code correctness) were added - LUCENE-840.
To be invoked by "ant test" from contrib/benchmark. (Doron Cohen)

3/19/07

1. Introduced an AbstractQueryMaker to hold common QueryMaker code. (GSI)
2. Added traversalSize parameter to SearchTravRetTask and SearchTravTask.  Changed SearchTravRetTask to extend SearchTravTask. (GSI)
3. Added FileBasedQueryMaker to run queries from a File or resource. (GSI)
4. Modified query-maker generation for read related tasks to make further read tasks addition simpler and safer. (DC)
5. Changed Taks' setParams() to throw UnsupportedOperationException if that task does not suppot command line param. (DC)
6. Improved javadoc to specify all properties command line params currently supported. (DC)
7. Refactored ReportTasks so that it is easy/possible now to create new report tasks. (DC)

01/09/07

2. Added this file.

3. 2/11/07: LUCENE-790 and 788:  Fixed Locale issue with date formatter. Fixed some minor issues with benchmarking by task.  Added a dependency
 on the Lucene demo to the build classpath.  (Doron Cohen, Grant Ingersoll)

4. 2/13/07: LUCENE-801: build.xml now builds Lucene core and Demo first and has classpath dependencies on the output of that build.  (Doron Cohen, Grant Ingersoll)
