Writing basic-search isn't to hard if I could translate it directly into

jackrabbit has this query grammar sets, but I really do not know how
they work (not sure if i want to learn about javacc) :-)
How about exposing a "Lucene" query language at the Jackrabbit
QueryManager level? This way a Jackrabbit-specific client could bypass
the XPath or SQL parsing and issue queries directly against the
underlying Lucene index.
I don't think that's a good idea. besides you don't have to know javacc to write
a new query syntax for jackrabbit. your syntax implementation just need to
transform a string statement into a org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.QueryNode tree.
AFAIK Julian did something similar in his spi implementation.
