You could take a look at Apaches Jackrabbit - it does this sort of thing. Its not exactly a library but it might give you some pointers. My understanding is that it uses an SQL like syntax for defining queries that are converted into an abstract syntax tree which it can then convert into any query syntax, Lucene query syntax being one. The Lucene query generated is obviously specific to the Jackrabbit indexes. Regards Paul I.

I know not every SQL statement can become a Lucene Query but that's OK as long as the library will highlight them.
