Lucene 2.4.0 - Hello World

Lucene 2.4.0 - Hello World application to play around with indexing / searching capabilities of Lucene. The original code is attributed to Lucene tutorial mentioned here.

Some of the API in the code like Hits have been deprecated that creates costly Document objects. The revised code, after addressing compilation warnings is shown herewith.
