: 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
As I understood it, the long term road map has been that 2.0.* would be th last major stable revision without serious API changes, and that 2.1.* versions are where serious refactoring/API changes might take place. Some of those 1.5 features might be very handy durring that process, and the use of Generics could help make the resulting APIs more self documenting and bulletproof. It seems to me that targetting 1.5 for 2.1.* is a smart way to proceed. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
