I would still argue that it is an incorrect setup - almost as bad as "not plugging the computer in".

If a user runs a virus scanner or file system indexer on the lucene index directory, their system is going to slow to a crawl and indexing will be abominably slow.

The installation guide should just make this required.

An installer can easily use the available APIs to remove the lucene data directory from virus scanning / indexing.

As I said, delete does fail on Windows in that case, and the
IndexFileDeleter (called by the IndexWriter) catches the IOException and
tries again (and again...).
