Apache's new incubator project, "Lucene Connector Framework", looks
promising. Perhaps a bit too early for users at this point, just for
developers.
"Lucene Connector Framework (LCF) is an incremental crawler framework
and set of connectors designed to pull documents from various kinds of
repositories into search engine indexes or other targets. The current
bevy of connectors includes Documentum (EMC), FileNet (IBM), LiveLink
(OpenText), Patriarch (Memex), Meridio (Autonomy), SharePoint
(Microsoft), RSS feeds, and web content. LCF also provides components
for individual document security within a target search engine, so that
repository security access conventions can be enforced in the search
results."
