Ie the system property solves the read-only media problem, but not if you are writing an applet based solution. The "CD-ROM and search applet" seems a natural pairing, so I was hoping there could be an alternative way of doing this.

This is from CHANGES.txt: 3. Added the ability to disable lock creation by using disableLuceneLocks system property. This is useful for read-only media, such as CD-ROMs. (otis) I remember somebody following up on this change and warning of a downfall of this solution, and I remember thinking that the comment was valid or semi-valid, but I can't remember who made the comment, nor what exactly the comment was. Maybe this solution needs to be fixed, but for now this should work.
