Kevin Burton is starting to use Lucene to
index Java source code. This is a good idea, and one that works well. When I worked in the Newton group at Apple, we were doing a port of JDK 1.2 to the Newton 2000/2100 series. We were using MkLinux to do some of our development, and I used glimpse to index our source base in much the same way that Kevin is doing. Sure brings back memories. Now that glimpse has gone closed source, Lucene provides a fine alternative.
