The check is rather simple (standard Java API):
java.lang.Package lpkg=org.apache.lucene.LucenePackage.get();
if (lpkg==null || !lpkg.isCompatibleWith("2.2.0"))
throw new RuntimeException("panFMP only runs with Apache Lucene
2.2.0 as a minimum requirement!");
According to Java Specs at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Package.html,
isCompatibleWith() reads the Manifest from Lucenes Package (returned by
Lucene's API in first line) and compares the given package version with the
JAR file's, if its greater or equal everything is OK. It uses the
"Specification-Version" attribute from the manifest, which must be formatted
in the following way:
"Specification version numbers use a syntax that consists of positive
decimal integers separated by periods ".", for example "2.0" or
"1.2.3.4.5.6.7". This allows an extensible number to be used to represent
major, minor, micro, etc. versions [...]
The implementation title, version, and vendor strings identify an
implementation and are made available conveniently to enable accurate
reporting of the packages involved when a problem occurs. The contents all
three implementation strings are vendor specific. The implementation version
strings have no specified syntax and should only be compared for equality
with desired version identifiers."
So if a JAR file lists a specification version, it must be formatted in the
way, Java specifies that attribute.
Lucene's manifest was always correct, only in the last release candidate,
the incorrect version string is returned for the Specification-Version
