I agree with Yonik. That was the first thing that came in my mind when thinking about a hard failure. On the other hand, we know for sure that every Java 7 before/including 1.7.0-147 is broken with any version of Lucene, we can deny execution. We just need some patterns on sysprops and maybe a external config file in resources folder with pattern + message to display. > Documentation seems like the best option. I agree, but some well known *exact versions* could still be denied to execute. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
