I'd love to hear about your experiences putting this together. Any chance they'd pay you to write a plugin? =)

Yes, believe it or not, someone is paying me to do such things. :) It's really just a proof of concept for website searching in general. The project doesn't have anything to search thus far, other than their maven site. It seemed like a natural place to demo what Lucene can or can't do.

Have barely glanced at Lucene, so I could be wrong,
but I thought you
could kick off a process that would index a
specified directory.  Then
your search uses the index to find results.  Seems
perfectly fit for
Maven integration.  It must not be that simple, b/c
someone else would
have done it by now if it was.  :)


It was not done because nobody  was interested enough
to do this :)

Most people just generate static html site - so there
is no need for lucene inside it (though they might
index whole webserver with several projects )

You will have to do some hacking on lucene though.
( search directory storing data in war / on classpath,
index reader which is hacked to not to obtain read
locks ( maybe ), servlet )




One way or the other, I'll know the answer in a
couple of weeks.  Let
me know if you're interested in the results.


As my developer docs server serves just wiki & plain
html, I will have no use of it. I'd rather put my
( non existent ) spare time to install damagecontrol.

Anyway, I suggest you put this idea to lucene mailing
list. That may persuade them to ofer maven build
system
( not only ant ).

Is there any way to have maven automatically

would be a handy feature.


as site produced by maven is pretty static, there

is

no way to use lucene.

well, maven could produce war file with enough
dynamic,
and could preform full indexing  of result, and
incorporate this index into war archive...
but it would require development of a lot of stuff
from lucene guys:
 - directory which is able to get information from
war archive (AFAIR - there is none )
 - search servlet going to this directory ( I'm

not

aware of it, maybe I'm wrong )
 - some maven-compatible way to perform indexing
(AFAIR - not there)

It would be possible to develop with a litle help

from

lucene guys, but this will need time and lobby

work.


( though they describe themselves as pretty open

to

changes )
