At the present moment there's a version of Lucene.NET, that it is not very updated and well-maintained. Therefore, the query parser is a port of the auto-generated one Lucene gets from JavaCC: I offered to George Aroush (the current maintainer of the project Lucene.NET) my help in porting properly the application to .NET/Mono for a stable distribution and development tree, but he has never answered me back.
After a while I decided to port the original Lucene from Java to C#, applying my own modifications (specially for the parser generation and the IO adjustments), and I named it Deveel.Lucene. I would like not to release it as a standalone project, since I think it is stupid to have multiple distributions of the same project, but since I haven't got any response to my emails I'm going ahead for my way...

Dear all, In our organization we need to use Lucene as our main search engine in all applications but the problem is that we have different developing environments, we use Java and Visual Studio .Net. Currently we use the java version of Lucene but I want to know how to use it in the applications developed by .Net. I tried searching a lot on how to get DLL from jar file and I reached a tool developed by Code Project team which is called IKVM.Net (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/csharpikvm.asp ). One of the functions of this tool is to convert jar file into DLL. It works fine with the basic functions of Lucene (Indexing and searching latin text files without morphological search) but when I tried it in the whole project after we added the features needed to index and search other types of files (doc, xls, pdf, ..etc) for both Latin and Arabic languages, it didn't work. So please if anyone passed by this experience and has a solution then provide us by it.
