Lucene's purpose is to be a dependency for other projects, and that would force all those projects to require Java7 also. Seems like that should wait. Solr is a different matter, and has historically moved to new Java versions earlier. But it feels a bit early there too... unless the features in Java7 outweigh the potential pain to people when we require it. >From a practical development point of view, it would be nice to have 4.x and 5.0 on the same Java version to minimize backporting pain. -Yonik lucenerevolution.com - Lucene/Solr Open Source Search Conference.
