as far as I know Lucene itself doesn't offer this (at least we failed to find it). The closest thing available seem to be the Ant tasks.
We are currently working on introducing this notion for our program, which is open source. Beside the plugin mechanism there will be a file filter mapping and a thread mechanism to maintain an index as well as implementations using POI and Multivalent. Give us another week or two.
BTW: has anyone looked into the option of using the OpenOffice UDK (http://udk.openoffice.org/) as document parser? We wanted to, but I am afraid we won't have the time. It sure will be a huge plugin and not as easy to deploy as the average JAR, but it would support a large range of documents and should be very suited for enterprise document collections.

I noticed from the FAQ that the developer must provide a parser for every type of document that requires indexing by Lucene. Does Lucen have a 'plugin' capacity to easily add a new parser into the mix?
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I haven't yet looked at the source code, or the configuration in detail.
