: That is bogus for an open source project. I won't have such updates, : how can i support such a java version, users that run into trouble? : And this does happen often. : I don't think i should have to pay money and become a paying customer : to Oracle to support lucene.
I didn't say you should. I in fact said almost the exact opposite: that we shouldn't let commercial versions of the JDK have any bearing on our decision.... 1) Benson made a reasonable statement that "There are many large organizations of the sort that use Lucene & Solr that will not be moving to 8 for years yet" 2) you said: "I don't buy "for years yet"." ... impling that such organizations will *have* to upgrade before then because there won't be *free* releases of java. 3) I tried to point out 2 things: a) we shouldn't let the EOL cycle of *one* commercial vendor have any bearing on our policy of support -- particularly since the refrence implementation is an open source source project. b) that your argument against benson's claims seemed missleading: just because Oracle is EOLing doesn't mean people won't be using OpenJDK; even if they are using Oracle's JDK, if they are large comercial organizations they might pay oracle to keep using it for a long time. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
