Yeah we have multiple test for IndexWriter (IW in short) the are all
basically in /lucene/core/src/test/org/apache/lucene/index

there is a bunch of them but those are only the test that test the IW
directly. Lots of other tests are involved. Whatever you do you should
run all core tests. The one with NRT and Threads in the name are the
most evil :)

here is a good guideline for getting started

I use Eclipse, but you can use the tool you like / know

We have a code style in lucene which basically follows the sun
guidelines. I think there are templates for eclipse and intellij on
the contribution wiki.

hope that gets you started!
