I'm in the middle of trying to get to the minimal configuration required to run Nutch as a searcher application in a web-app. I've got Nutch installed and running with a minimal number of config files and jars in my application's war file, but I still have dependencies on the installed Nutch plugin directory at runtime.
I can see from the nutch.war web-application that the plugins are all in the WEB-INF/classes/plugins directory, but there seem to be a large number of them. Can anyone offer me guidance as to the minimal plugin set required to enable a search of an existing index? (For example, I believe the parse-* plugins may be used when crawling, but not when searching an index and so I don't need them in my war file). Cheers, Ian.
