Lots Of Interest in Lucene Desktop

I don't think it is surprising that there is Lots Of Interest in Lucene Desktop it could be very useful. It does seem to me that a good separation of client and server will make it more so. Then lots of exciting things become even easier. So the direction that Kevin is going seems good (although why bother with xmlrpc when if you do a good REST interface that is easier to work with as well as simpler to write and debug).
I also like the fact that PyLucene will make it super easy to use these indexes from Python as well as Java.

Thanks to  ClientJava.com - Lucene Desktop via Artima.

Update: Not sure why this had been left as a draft for a while. Still better late than never.

personally i'm using http://sourceforge.net/projects/lucenedesktop/
mostly because i've found it early and like its spartan interface
(umm, i assume that regexp file inclusion/exlusion masks can appeal only to programmers ... thats plus for me, not neccesairly for average joe :)

and source availability make it easy to for me to adatpt it for my needs (that is to make it more spartan and integrate it with whatever :)
