I was thinking along the lines of making these (lucene and sqlite) into optional components that can be installed into the base xulrunner package. Then browsers or other xul based applications could access them. Hopely the next gen brower will be xulrunner based, as indicated in the roadmap. It is common to want to use lucene and sqlite lite in conjunction with each other. For example in Beagle (http://beaglewiki.org/Main_Page) SQLite holds the structured information about each file (text and non-text), while lucene is used as a full text index for text files. When you use the two databases together things like threading, process locking, and transactions need to be sorted out and coordinated. My interest in SQLite/lucene is for a local xul based app. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mozilla-xpcom mailing list Mozilla-xpcom@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-xpcom
