After all, Lucene comes with version numbers.
Yes it does, I just think the core functionality shouldn't be so
quick
to change away from supporting 1.4.
2 years is hardly quick. Performance, contributions from the vast
majority of the developer community, faster and more reliable
development, better compile-time error checking (generics), modern
api's... I think these trump the concerns about legacy or niche
environments with poor java support. Why should an environment
that is
stuck in a dated java expect to run the latest and greatest lucene?
2 years is actually quite quick.
OS/X just released their 1.5 version about 2-3 months ago.
so while it might seem 'forever' it isn't. and there are still some
applications
which require java 1.4 ( opentaps for example).
