1.1 jakarta-lucene-sandbox/projects/appex/README.txt

Index: README.txt
===================================================================
This is the README file for a search framework contribution to Lucene Sandbox.

It is an attempt at constructing a framework around the Lucene search API.
(Can I have a name for it?)

3 interesting features of this framework are:

datasource independence - through various datasource implementations,
regardless of whether it is a database table, an object, a filesystem directory,
or a website, these can all be indexed.

complex datasource support - complex datasources are containers for what are
potentially new datasources (a Zip archive, a HTML document containing links to
other HTML documents, a Java object which contains references to other objects
to be indexed, etc). The framework has basic support for complex datasources.

pluggable file content handlers - content handlers which 'know' how to index
various file formats (MS Word, Zip, Tar, etc) can be easily configured via an
xml configuration file.
