I have read the minimal docs for Lucene annotations. I don't know enough to
make the leap from the little I know about Lucene to be able to use the
Annotations effectively. Does anyone know of a complete example that uses
annotations. I have seen some stuff about Lucene integration in a
non-annotations world, but really just need to see them in action.

Thanks

Read 'Lucene in Action' book.
Using annotations then will be a trivial stuff.

Note that Hibernate Lucene is heavily enhanced nowadays, the docs will follow.
As Ales said, the annotations really should be trivial if you understand the notion of lucene indexing:
- can I store a property or not (ie available in the index for reading)
- can I index a property or not (ie should this property being indexed)
- what is the boost factor

The only difference with pure lucene indexing is the fact that you must mark the id property with @Keyword(id=true). Hibernate will use that property to uniquely map an entity to a Lucene document.

Are there plans for Ram Directory Support?

Also, can the index locations be controlled from a config file if needed?

I.e. a list of Entity Classes along with their index locations.

Thanks,

Dave

Yup, both are in SVN already

What is SVN?

Can the Ramdirectory and FSDirectory be used at the same time? Are there any documents on this?

it's the source repository

I hope I'll be able to work on the documentation in about 2 weeks
