Can't say best, just one point : Lucene API is already used in OFBiz to index words search I guess (in content module)
BTW Cameron what kinds of values is adding Spring to you ? Or is it because your application was already using it and hence it's easier to let it like that ?

I load the ApplicationContext from my webapp. I do LESS THINGS with Spring, as OFBiz provides many of them (ex. declarative caching, Transaction mgt). But I reckon it still adds value. If you ported authsum to run as an optional module in the hot-deploy directory, (the mode used by OpenTAPS modules), then the core OFBiz itself has no dependency on Spring.
