Hey all,
I may be working on a project to integrate the java-based search
tool Lucene with an objective-C Cocoa app. There seem to be a
number of ways to do this: use Clucene (the C++ port of Lucene),
use JNI, use PyLucene, etc. I was just wondering if someone else
had experience with this and had any recommendations. Clucene seems
the obvious answer, but I don't know if it's as robust as the
original project. PyLucene projects says they use GCJ and then put
python bindings on top of that. That seems to be an interesting
approach. Though I can't say I understand how that works, it does
seem like something similar could be done to build C bindings.
Any thoughts or experience would be much appreciated.
Thanks to all for the replies. Based on the responses, and the
familiarity of other folks on the project, the project will probably
end up using PyLucene or LuceneKit, because it sounds like the JNI
path would be harder.
A lot of folks asked why Lucene, and the answer is: I don't know, but
it's the project spec. I suspect the project wants the search to be
consistent under both windows and mac OS X. If the project were
starting from scratch, the whole thing could have been written in
Java, and that would have been awesome, but it's too late for that.
Anyway, thanks again for the replies.
