The unit test for DeletionPolicy has an example called "ExpirationTimeDeletionPolicy". You can see its source here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/tags/lucene_2_3_2/src/test/org/apache/lucene/index/TestDeletionPolicy.java?revision=653677&view=markup Note that the DeletionPolicy is given IndexCommit instances, whose "delete" method you call when you no longer need that commit point. You don't delete the files yourself (IndexWriter works out which files to delete based on which commits you've deleted).
