permalink.gif First steps with Lucene

Tue Dec 02 20:43:39 GMT 2003  Permalink 

I'm playing with the Jakarta Lucene search engine at the moment as a way of implementing some neat new stuff for K-Collector.  I've got a Java app talking to K-Collector via XML-RPC and indexing posts from our database.  I think it took me about 15 minutes from cold to having butchered the sample apps to do what I want.  That seems like a good sign to me.  While browsing for more information about Lucene I came across an article talking about Lucene and another Jakarta library called Digester.  Digester is a neat XML to Java object mapper.  I'll be taking a better look at it over the next few days.

It's been a good trip - I can't believe I fly back tomorrow.  Where did the time go?  Paolo and I have discussed a lot of the strategy behind how we are going to offer K-Collector to customers. All those questions we've been putting off till last have come due.  I think we've got some good answers and we'll be publishing the details soon.  I'll also be spending increasing amounts of my time on sales & marketing now which, strangely, I find I am looking forward to!
