Description

gcjh doesn't place in abstract classes implementing an interface the declarations for the interface methods that are not explicitly declared in the abstract class (wew).

Thus you cannot directly invoce many of lucene.search.Searcher methods, most notably close(), from c++ code.

I'm attaching a patch that declares them as abstract in lucene.search.Searcher to work around this problem.
