Everyone has itches right? Joe has one for an IMAP server. Ray wanted a CFC based blog. I want a Java application that does searching, indexing, crawling and reporting that can be deployed on any servlet container. I’m sure there are people out there that could write one up in a couple days and I’m sure there are already applications that perform these exact functions (for example: ht//Dig does it, just not in Java). I’d like to attack it because I think it would be a fascinating (and fun!) exercise. So anyway, following are a couple of the features I’d like to implement and then some beginning research… I have questions at the end for anyone who has done a project similar in scope to this.
