IKVM.NET and Lucene

Question

I am using Lucene.Net but there are some interesting Java components for Lucene (especially analyzers) that haven't been ported to Lucene.NET yet so maybe IKVM is a better choice. Some research has shown that IKVM seems to work pretty well, but I haven't seen anything regarding Lucene.

Does anybody have experience running Lucene with IKVM.NET and can share his impressions?

Thanks

We are using Lucene through IKVM in a big C#-project. It works very well, also the performance is quite good. We also using the highlighter component - as described under the link in the post above.

But also you should keep an eye on Lucene.Net in the future. It is now a official apache top-level-project ( http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/08/Lucene-net ). So i guess it will catch up to Lucene (Java) in some time..
