[mobile-devel] Creation of a Repository of Lucene indexes for download by And Bible

[Martin Denham]

*Discussion*
DM helpfully and in great detail recently clarified on jsword-devel details
of the requirements for the use of pre-generated indexes and solved a long
term problem I had been experiencing with use of pre-generated JSword
indexes in And Bible.

There has also been discussion recently regarding JSword repository
structures and http or ftp download which may lead to changes in JSword but
these are different issues to the requirement that And Bible has to download
indexes rather than create them on a mobile phone.

*Plan*
Hopefully you are happy if I press ahead this week and store And Bible
compatible indexes in a repository for And Bible users to download.  This
would have the same framework as that used by the Sword/PocketSword/clucene
index download repository and use the standard JSword index download code.

*User Interface*
When a user requests Search in And Bible they will be prompted to download a
Search Index.  The option to create a Search Index on the mobile will remain
but will become less prominent over forthcoming releases because the index
created on the mobile does not have all the features of a downloaded index.
 Eventually it would be good to download the index immediately after module
download because the user will often then be using a wireless connection,
but that may be introduced in the future.

Many thanks
Martin
