Re: [Tracker] Indexing the content of java files

["Jos Dirksen" <jos dirksen gmail com>]

Nautilus defines the files as: text/x-java, and I also see trackerd indexing the files if I start it from command line.

For instance if I only let trackerd index a directory with a single file. I can see that it picks the file up correctly.

mime is text/x-java for /home/nl24167/java/sources/camel/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/CamelTemplate.java
file extension is java
file /home/nl24167/java/sources/camel/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/CamelTemplate.java is indexable
file /home/nl24167/java/sources/camel/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/CamelTemplate.java has fulltext 1 with service Development
Indexing /home/nl24167/java/sources/camel/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/CamelTemplate.java with service Development and mime text/x-java (existing)
0 files are pending with count 0
Flushing all words - total hits in cache is 3, total words 0
could not update word hit text - appending
could not update word hit text/x-java - appending

The class definition in this file is something like this:

public class CamelTemplate<E extends Exchange> extends ServiceSupport implements ProducerTemplate<E> {

So I expect that when I search for 'ServiceSupport' this file should be returned as a hit, but it doesn't. The strange thing however is that tracker-search does find two other files that have 'ServiceSupport' in it's content.

It almost seems like it stopped indexing somewhere, or doesn't update it's index any more.

they should be assuming the mime type is correct - does nautilus
identify the java files as :

"text/x-java" or "text/x-java-source" or "application/x-java" or
"application/x-_javascript_" (tracker definitely indexes all of these)

If not, make sure you have the shared-mime-info package installed

Also there is a bug in tracker-search-tool in 0.6.3 which omits the last
category in a search

to be sure if it is searchable try tracker-search on the command line
