+1 from old-stick-in-the-mud, whose vote does not count :)
BTW, today Apple released Java 1.5.0_30. So while Oracle has not
supplied security updates or bug fixes to 1.5 since Nov 2009, except to
premier customers, Apple is still actively supporting it for OS X 10.5,
Leopard.

Subject: [VOTE] Drop Java 5 support for trunk (Lucene 4.0)
This issue has been discussed on various occasions and lately on
LUCENE-3239 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3239)
The main reasons for this have been discussed on the issue but let me put
them out here too:
- Lack of testing on Jenkins with Java 5
- Java 5 end of lifetime is reached a long time ago so Java 5 is totally
unmaintained which means for us that bugs have to either be hacked
around, tests disabled, warnings placed, but some things simply cannot be
fixed... we cannot actually "support" something that is no longer maintained:
we do find JRE bugs
(http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/SunJavaBugs) and its important that
bugs actually get fixed: cannot do everything with hacks.\
- due to Java 5 we legitimate performance hits like 20% slower grouping
speed.
For reference please read through the issue mentioned above.
A lot of the committers seem to be on the same page here to drop Java
5 support so I am calling out an official vote.
all Lucene 3.x releases will remain with Java 5 support this vote is for trunk
only.
Here is my +1
Simon
