Joaquin Thanks for that. I'm not trying to accomplish anything myself right now - my employer asked me to do a technical evaluation of Lucene, and provided me with a list of areas I was to look in to, just to see if Lucene has certain capabilities. Global Analysis was one of the "would like" rather than "must have" functions, but I couldn't find any information on it on the web.
Have you built GCA on top of Lucene? If so, how difficult was it from the Lucene perspective? (As opposed to the GCA itself, which I understand is quite tricky). Do you know of any open source applications of GCA on top of Lucene?
