Yes, it uses the normal Lucene packages as a Jar file. There are not a lot of places where Nutch uses Lucene in interesting new ways, but there are some. Actually, the Nutch case study in Lucene in Action may reveal some. For instance, Nutch has a simpler QueryParser. It also has a neat way of dealing with common terms and terms that frequently come together. But you really ought to browse the Nutch source for that.
