I agree. I also do not see it making a difference to potential developers. What are the benefits to the project? A developer will not make their decision to get involved in Lucene/Solr based on branch4x being Java 6 vs Java 7. If causes some users to not upgrade, that's also a bad thing for the project. -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
