If the rest of the world of Lucene ports followed suit with PyLucene and
did the GCJ/SWIG thing, we'd have no problems :) What are the
disadvantages to following this model with Plucene?
Some parts of the Lucene API require subclassing (e. g., Analyzer) and SWIG
does support cross-language polymorphism only for a few languages, notably
Python and Java but not for Perl. Noticing the smiley I won't mention the
zillion other reasons not to use the "GCJ/SWIG thing".
Yes, that's true, Java Lucene requires a bunch of subclassing to truly shine
in any sizable application. I didn't use SWIG's director feature to implement
extension but a more or less hardcarved SWIG-in-reverse trick that can easily
be reproduced by other such SWIG-based ports.
