Hi Roberto,

our group at Technische Universit�t Darmstadt has indeed developed a
consumer that outputs Lucene indexes. It is described in our paper for
the LREC workshop "UIMA for NLP" which can be found here:
http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Group_UKP/publikationen/2008/paper.pdf

We are very willing to share this and other UIMA components with the
community. Unfortunately we haven't been able to release the components
yet, due to a lack of time.

If you contact me directly I can send you the code of an example Lucene
CAS consumer which we use in some student projects. This could be a good
starting point for building your own consumer.
