Subject: Re: Trying to open a Lucene-built index with Ferret...

I don't remember the reasoning behind it, but as far as i know, this  
happend quite a while ago.

If you search http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/5 for it, you might get  
more.

I think the ability to use Lucene directly from JRuby already makes  
the ability to manipulate it
with ferret a cornercase most people will ignore.
