Good point.

not that I know of.

don't think it's possible on the current system.

I agree.

Cocoon is an avalon component.

My best choice would be to retrieve Cocoon as a component directly from
the ComponentManager, then call the process(Environment) method
indicating what environment we want, just like the Main class does.

hmmm, might connect Ant to Cocoon too strongly but I really don't know.
What do others think about this?

Sounds like a classloading containment problem. Ant is not as advanced
on classloading like Tomcat is.

I think so.

Hmmm, forking lucene is not exactly a good way of working with them. I'd
suggest you to send the patches to them and see what comes up from
there.

I would be against having a ad-hoc modified version of Lucene into our
CVS.

Right, I was thinking the same thing.

Performance-wise, the obvious answer is to store the summary along with
the index.

Attributes can appear only once, what about wrapping them with square
brakets?

 [Introduction] This text is something that blah 
 blah blah [How to blah blah] blah blah blah

but I'm wide open to suggestions here.
