Hi Joe, Firstly, why do you want to generate the index with Java. I just want to make sure that performance isn't the reason, because you'll probably get better performance with Ferret. If there is another reason you want to use Java to build the index then unfortunately there is no way to read the index with Ferret. Ferret now uses a very different index file format. But all is not lost. Look at solr-ruby. This will allow you to use your Lucene indexes from Ruby.
