Recommended Highlighter for 4.8

[DI Edgar Piskernik <of...@piskernik.com>]

Hi,

I’m somewhat lost in finding a way to use a highlighter in Luzerne 4.8. What is the recommended way forward or what is the status? If there is no port available yet, what would be the recommended starting point for porting?

Thanks,

Edgar

Edgar,

Thanks for your interest.

Highlighter has already been ported on this branch: https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/203. At this time the only way to get it is to run the build manually. See the build instructions here: https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/191  and instructions on how to utilize the NuGet packages from the build here: https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/191#issuecomment-275886200. The focus has been more on finishing up the API and fixing bugs and failing tests than getting the release process straightened out (which got more complicated since we added .NET Core support), but with 1 or 2 people working on nearly 400,000 lines of code there is only so much that can be done.

If you want us to go faster, then please fork the #203 branch and lend a hand. There are some tasks listed on https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/203, but if none of those suits you there are some more unfinished tasks in the "known issues" here: http://apache.markmail.org/search/?q=from%3A%22Shad+Storhaug%22#query:from%3A%22Shad%20Storhaug%22+page:1+mid:s5imh7pkncfphszs+state:results
