Anyone thought about converting beagle(mono) to java, is it possible with some changes to the code?  I saw something months back about the diffs between java/mono and how it is possible to write apps for both without much pain, I'm not a developer and don't really know enough about java atm to say yes/no ;-)

Just thought if it is possible, that would be a good project since fedora/rh doesn't want to go down the mono route for what i think are good reasons.

For example, didn't Wikipedia mv from GCJ and Lucene to Mono and Dotlucene?  I don't know if there is any similarity between DotLucene and Beagle, but if Lucene does some kind of indexing/searching would it be possible to write some kind of Lucene interface to index dir on a desktop?

I could just be pulling all of this out of my @$$ and be a bad idea ;)
