Would this mean that people checking out Lucene source (especially the core) could possibly need 2 or more JDKs on their machines in order to do a build? I know it is would be automated through the build scripts, but it seems like _it could_ degenerate into a management nightmare. What if people require specific JVM minor releases do to JVM bug fixes or if they require 1.6?

I would ammend that proposal slightly...

1a) Lucene Core 2.0.* releases garuntee java1.4 compatibility
1b) Lucene Contrib modules in 2.0.* releases are free to require any java
    version they choose.

2a) Lucene Core 2.1.* release garuntee java1.5 compatibility.
2b) Lucene Contrib modules in 2.1.* releases are free to require any java
    version they choose.
