For some reason I've never been confused by the naming.  I think in my mind and when I talk about this, I say "Lucene project" when I mean the TLP, and Lucene when I talk about the original Lucene.  Though I'd personally be said to see the original Lucene get renamed now, I'm open. :)

I agree about Grant about where we are going with Lucene TLP, and I'm very much looking forward to new things that will grow under the Lucene name.

No, you are not the only one...  Many a sleepless night spent on  
it...  :-)

I usually try to refer to it as Lucene Java, but old habits die hard  
and often times I just call it Lucene.  I think the name has a good  
brand at this point and is very strongly associated w/ the Java  
library.  I seem to recall when they were forming the TLP, that the  
original proposal was search.a.o, but then changed b/c the ASF didn't  
like generic names (or at least that is how I recall it.)  And, of  
course, with Hadoop and the potential for Tika/Lius, it isn't just  
search anymore.  I have often thought about an Apache "Text" project,  
that could eventually hold a whole family of text based tools like  
Lucene, Tika, Hadoop, Solr, etc. plus things like part of speech  
taggers, clustering/classification algorithms, UIMA, etc. all under  
one roof.  But that is just my two cents and I don't know if it fits  
with what other people have in mind.  There are a lot of OSS tools  
out there for these things, but none bring together a whole suite  
under a brand like Apache.
