Hey Guys, I'm loving all the recent activity on the dev list. I've been watching it for some time, and I was also deeply disturbed seeing no posts. This is my first message on the list :).
I see that you are evaluating Sharpen. I was wondering if you've heard of IKVM, it's a Java VM that runs on top of .NET/Mono and it also includes a tool which can be used to convert java libraries/apps to .NET assemblies. Check it out at: http://www.ikvm.net/. If this works, it promises to be a very reliable way to convert the official java distribution to .NET. I will give this a shot soon and report back!

I've decided to chuck the contents of that ZIP onto bitbucket (I hope you don't mind) since it'll be easier to track the testing against it than through an email. It's available here: http://hg.slace.biz/lucene-via-sharpen This is the raw package contents from Alex, I'll do some updates to it so that it's not tied to Alex's setup and works more generically (unless someone beats me to it) over the weekend <http://hg.slace.biz/lucene-via-sharpen>Note: This is NOT an attempt to move away from ASF, it's just a way for us to test out how well Sharpen performs as a tool for Java to .NET conversion, if it turns out to be a viable option this will be rolled back to ASF. This is just a playground :) Aaron Powell Umbraco Ninja http://www.aaron-powell.com | http://twitter.com/slace | Skype: aaron.l.powell | MSN: aaz...@hotmail.com On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 12:52 PM, Alex Thompson <pierogi...@hotmail.com>wrote: > I did an initial run of Lucene 3.0.2 through Sharpen.
