Lucene is an independent reusable component.
There are many measures of size - lines of code, size of community, etc.
By these measures, it would appear that lucene could either be considered a
slighly largish commons component, or a slighly smallish jakarta
subproject.
Re: sourceforge; there are a number of differences. Has a community and a
relationship or affinity with other Jakarta projects are key
differentiators. Again, by the latter measure, Lucene is a slightly weak
Jakarta subproject (IMHO) - the only direct linkage I am aware of is by a
non-Apache project, namely Scarab. If this were a big concern to me, I
would be insisting on a sandbox until the project grows up.
But, all things considered, I don't see significant risk. That's why I
gave my +1.
