Well... you can use oal.index.IndexFileNameFilter.getFilter() to filter for only the Lucene index files, or, you could filter for the additional files you know you've placed in the index directory?
The motivation for this change was that Directory is the wrong place to have "smarts" about what is & isn't an index file: it's too low-level (and, different Directory impls were inconsistent). Especially with flexible indexing coming, where a codec can write whatever files it wants, the Directory has no way know. Some details are in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1468.
