Sandbox: LuCas Lucene update

[Erik Fäßler]

 Hey all,

back in January, I had the need to have the CAS Lucene indexer (LuCas, 
UIMA Sandbox component) working with Lucene 2.9.x. So I checked it out 
from the Sandbox SVN, updated the libraries and fixed the compiling 
bugs. The result is a LuCas component working with Lucene 2.9.3. At 
least all tests are working and I used the component (together with Solr 
which was why I needed Lucene 2.9.x) successfully.
The changes needed were not too big as I did not take the leap to Lucene 
3.x. Some filters have been updated to the new Token API and one or two 
classes required a more or less complete rewrite until the tests would 
work again.

So, my question: Would it be desirable to commit these changes back to 
the Sandbox SVN? Which steps would have I have to take for this? Or 
should I just send my sources to a developer? The component has been 
created in my lab originally, but the developer has moved to another 
working place quite a while ago.

Best regards,

    Erik
