Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3850:
---------------------------------------

bq. warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 
1.6

Its because you are compiling the code with Java 7 but using 1.6 compatibility. 
Previous versions did not complain about that (e.g. compiling 1.5 code with 
1.6). This warning simply says, that you should have a different bootstrap 
classpath with only the 1.6 JDK rt.jar in it, so the compiler can check that 
the methods/classes you are using are really existing. If you compoile against 
Java 7's rt.jar this is not guaranteed.

The warning is obsolete for us, as we also check java 6 and java 5 (for 3.x).

> Java 7 changed the warnings a little bit:
> - Java 6 only knew "unchecked" warning type, applying for all types of 
> generics violations, like missing generics (raw types)
> - Java 7 still knows "unchecked" but only emits warning if the call is really 
> unchecked. Declaration of variables/fields or constructing instances without 
> type param now emits "rawtypes" warning.
> The changes above causes the Java 7 compile now emit lots of "rawtypes" 
> warnings, where Java 6 is silent. The easy fix is to suppres both warning 
> types: @SuppressWarnings({"unchecked","rawtypes"}) for all those places. 
> Changes are easy to do, will provide patch later!
