Lucene running Java 1.5 seems almost 40% faster, and some of the Java 1.5 language features would improve the readability of the Lucene code.
I think it about time for such a "recognized" project to move forward. 1.6 is almost ready to be released... -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Naber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2006 8:45 AM To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Lucene and Java 1.5 On Samstag 27 Mai 2006 13:18, Chuck Williams wrote: > 1.5 has been out for almost 2 years now and has substantial > improvements over 1.4.x, including generics for example. Isn't it > time for Lucene to adopt 1.5? Java 1.5 has nice features, sure. But these features are mostly useful during development, they are less usefull for existing and proven software like Lucene. I think at least the core of Lucene should stay compatible with 1.4 for some time. If someone wants to add 1.5-dependent modules to the contrib area that would be okay for me though.
