RubLucene?
So it seems Brian McCallister and Don Coleman have been awarded a Ruby Codefest Grant to create Ruby bindings for Lucene. Cool!
I’d started on the gcj/SWIG path with the idea of doing Lucene, but found I needed to tackle a simpler task first to get to grips with SWIG– hence POI4R. I hope I’ll have some time to contribute to the Lucene effort as well.
Another java application that I hope to see wrapped to ruby is FOP. This one should be simpler than Lucene.
