No, you are not the only one... Many a sleepless night spent on
it... :-)
I usually try to refer to it as Lucene Java, but old habits die hard
and often times I just call it Lucene. I think the name has a good
brand at this point and is very strongly associated w/ the Java
library. I seem to recall when they were forming the TLP, that the
original proposal was search.a.o, but then changed b/c the ASF didn't
like generic names (or at least that is how I recall it.) And, of
course, with Hadoop and the potential for Tika/Lius, it isn't just
search anymore. I have often thought about an Apache "Text" project,
that could eventually hold a whole family of text based tools like
Lucene, Tika, Hadoop, Solr, etc. plus things like part of speech
taggers, clustering/classification algorithms, UIMA, etc. all under
one roof. But that is just my two cents and I don't know if it fits
with what other people have in mind. There are a lot of OSS tools
out there for these things, but none bring together a whole suite
under a brand like Apache.

As the Lucene Top Level Project grows and get's more Sub-Projects, I
(personally) have been finding it hard in email/documentation/
discussion
to clarify when people are refering to the "Lucene" Top Level Project
versus the "Lucene" java project. I can't help but wonder if the TLP
should have a different name, or if "Lucene Java" should taken on a
more
specific name that doesn't just sound like a name followed a
langauge --
ie: JLucene, LuceneJ ... anything that makes it more clear that
when the
word "Lucene" is used it's talking about the broder Top Level project
address all aspects of OSS Search Software.
Am I the only one that wonders about this as time goes on?
