I don't think we have any demo code for this yet.  I have a personal  
task that I'm trying to get to that will demonstrate how to cluster  
text starting from a plain text file, but nothing in code yet,  
especially not anything that takes it from Lucene.  All of these would  
be great additions to have.  I think Richard Tomsett said he had some  
code to do it, but hasn't donated it yet.  He's also put up a patch  
for doing cosine distance metric, but it is not committed yet.

Cheers,
Grant
