First of all, please have a look at the existing implementation [1].
Once you have some understanding of that code's structure, you can
propose one way or the other in your written GSoC proposal. AS Marcel
put it in Bugzilla: "This project could either build upon that prototype
or, taking into account the lessons learned there, start from scratch."
Just bear in mind that the existing prototype was a *research*
prototype, so it served slightly different goals (exploring the design
space) than what we would expect from a GSoC project (a more mature,
well-tested implementation).

Sure. Tobias kindly allowed us to attach the thesis to the respective
Bugzilla issue [2].

It should cover only Java for now. (A full-text search certainly would
cover any kind of language, but you can provide much better results if
you understand a language's structure/constraints.)
Hope that helps.
