Please send me your feedback, >critiques and thought. >http://www.trilug.org/~acoliver/luceneplan.html Interesting and well written! If I read this proposal correctly, what you're saying is "make Lucene more into an application, rather than just an indexing library". I *like* that Lucene doesn't have a spider, or a file tree walker, etc etc. It's conceptual simplicity. I agree it'd be useful to have easy applications built with Lucene, but should it be done as part of Lucene itself or as a separate project? In either event I think it's important to preserve Lucene's current library interfaces. If the primary interface into Lucene were via the proposed Indexer classes, I think Lucene would lose something. nelson@monkey.org . . . . . . . . http://www.media.mit.edu/~nelson/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
