First, it will be supported for a while by Nuxeo. See the FAQ.

As well, you can follow the checkins for NXLucene and see we are still
working on it at the moment because we do have customers using it :

The future of NXLucene will mostly depend on the community. I think the
NXLucene project is a great project for Python based softwares and it is
worth taking care of it for those of you still using Python as a core
technology. For instance, I just opened an account to David who
expressed the motivation to try out a migration to PyLucene 2.x.

We, Nuxeo, will take care of the 1.0 branch for our customer's
production instances.

But, of course, this product as the other Nuxeo products will be
rewritten in Java. Actually, I should be starting this in couple of
weeks. See :

http://jira.nuxeo.org/browse/NXP-154

Solr is Java based. The next NXLucene will be Java based as well. An
advantage over solr for the next NXLucene will be the tied integration
with Nuxeo 5 and its content management orientation. (which is not the
case of Solr).

If you got more questions do not hesitate.

Cheers,
