Hi Pablo

I was just about to propose some changes in the wiki, but if the update is
imminent, maybe they don't make sense. It's about problems I encountered,
and which took me quite some time to figure out. That's why I thought
about putting them on the wiki. But the update will probably make them
obsolete, so better not? What do you think?

Specifically, I found a little troubling
* The insistence to use Maven2: I think at the moment, Maven3 is *required*.
* Indexing only works with Java7 (else, there will be a "Illegal pattern
character 'X'"-Error)
* The Java version, in turn, has to be adapted in the main POM
* Internationalization doesn't work with release 0.6, which isn't
mentioned in the interntionalization how-to (I didn't try 0.6.5, I didn't
even know it existed)
* Wikipedia-Dumps (I checked en, de and fr) have start and end tags of the
form "# started 2012-06-04T09:54:24Z", which cause a parsing error. (I
think this isn't a spotlight problem, it occurrs externally. The only
solution I found was to cut them manually.)

So the question is: Should I try to integrate this into the wiki, or will
the problems disappear anyway with the upcoming version?
For internal purposes, I had to write a complete how-to (pretty similar to
the spanish example), so a different solution might be to put this guide
on a seperate wiki page.

Cheers,
Hali
