Very interesting! I had no idea there were these efforts under way -
thanks for pointing them out. I still feel strongly that the GCJ/
SWIG approach is the right way to go, and wish I had time to devote
to such an effort, but happily will leave the gory details to those
that really dig that kind of hacking. PyLucene has shown this
approach to be very fast and also to be able to keep up with the ever
changing Java Lucene API. I would not want to be left behind with a
native port that doesn't stay up-to-date.
I just added a comment to the first blog, but did not for the second
one as it requires registration. Could someone get in touch with the
12's guy and bring him on board to this list?

Glad to hear the project isn't dead. Is there any code to look at?
It looks like there are some other efforts to port Lucene to Ruby:

I think it would be a good idea to get everyone together to focus
on one
code base. I'd like to get involved in this project but don't want to
duplicate any work.
