Dear stuci,
don't be mistaken by my missing reviews here, I'm freelancer beginner, but I'm very experienced developer. I have been in professional programming industry for 10 years (as a R&D and teamleader), within school and programming just for fun much longer. Last few years I'm coding mainly in Java, which I'm certified for. So I can assure you that if you work with me once, you will always want to work with me :).
I have some experiences with Apache Lucene, because I worked on Alfresco - with team we were developing content management system with indexing and searching. Also in free time I did some simple crawler to tokenize webpages for my (now for some time dead) project.
Two questions:
* no other libraries than Apache Lucene - so also no Apache HttpClient?
* mentioned additions are part of this project, or will be solved next time?
My offer: we can discuss project through Skype and I'll shoot first version - demo, over which we can iterate more further.
Looking forward our cooperation and my first review here!
Vaclav
