I would be grateful for some tip as this is my first approach to Lucene...
Is it your IndexSearcher instantiation that's raising the Lock obtain time out exception?
Can you look in your java.io.tmpdir and see if there are any Lucene lock files present even when Lucene is not running? If so (and you're certain you don't have Lucene running) you should remove those files manually and then retry your program?
