This class is an Uberspect implementation that gets values from Lucene Documents for display in Velocity templates.

It's not finished – it does not yet handle situations where the documents has more than one field withe the same name (or more than one value per field, depending on how you look at it), but still provides a useful (I think) example of a concrete Uberspect implementation that works with MultiUberspect (and how simple it can be).

Using this class, one can echo the value of fields in Lucene documents inside templates just as one would echo values from regular JavaBeans.
