Move onto Java 1.5!

Anyways, 1.5 is significantly more - so, it didn't matter Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:52:55 GMT http://www.quimble.com/poll/view_poll/2156 info@quimble.com (Anonymous Coward) http://www.quimble.com/poll/view_poll/2156 Even if just 32% of the users use Java 1.4 and don't plan to upgrade (that is the result of the current poll), and this is not a majority, it's still a significant percentage, which relying on Java 1.5 will harm. The question is, what *good* will relying on Java 1.5 do? The benefits raised by some people on the list are mostly about syntactic sugar, which I may dare call insignificant. I don't think it's a wise move to prevent 32% of the people from using Lucene, just to win an insignificant benefit.

I'd like to make sure that the main branch of Lucene stays consistent with the version of gcj in Debian stable. The "modernity" of Java Lucene, by the way, has to do with the algorithms in it, not the syntax of the language in which it is written.

The 2.0.x branch should be maintained for JDK 1.4 users.
