Overview
karakoram is a tool for spidering (give it a host name and optionally a path and it will attempt to find every HTML page on that site), indexing (the content of the site is stripped of HTML and then indexed using Lucene), archiving (a copy of every page is saved to a database so that you can provide 'cached' copies of pages just like Google) and searching (either via a secure web-based form, a non-secure XML API or optionally by copying the Lucene indexes) websites using Java technology.

karakoram is built on a variety of open source software including Struts 1.1, Lucene 1.3, the Jakarta Commons project, Hibernate, log4J, MySQL (although it should work with every database that Hibernate supports), dom4j, Classifier4J, JFreeChart and the cewolf JSP graphing tags. The web crawling technology was inspired by work done in the Jakarta LARM project, which is a subproject of Lucene.
