I would have to add my vote to keeping focus. We use Lucene with Tomcat,
but we like it particularly because it has no dependencies and will work
on anything else just as well. This makes it very versatile and easy to
incorporate into projects. Some dependencies would be ok (like a RegEx
package for example), but if it starts getting "integrated" with other
projects in ways that don't maintain a clean separation it will become
more and more problematic to use Lucene.
Of course (I love Open Source! :) ) we can always rip out the parts that
we don't need, but it's much easier when they aren't there in the first
place. Also makes for a more stable product with less bugs.
But in the end, I'm not sure that this is a vote against getting with
Jakarta - don't know much about the "in" culture there.
Also, Jakarta project is growing rapidly. Pretty soon its exclusivity
might be diluted, and it might become just another SourceForge, do you
think?
