I believe download-and-build is OK (just like with JEDirectory), so that contrib would be great to have. Only the code/libs *distributed* by ASF have to be ASL.

Cool. Well, for now, I'll follow Mark Harwood's recommendation to copy the relevant tests that use RAMDirectory and change the directory implementation. > > > : Finally, regarding hosting, I am happy to contribute this to > Lucene (alongside > : the JEDirectory, etc) but if licensing (JBoss Cache is LGPL, > although the > : plugin code can be ASL if need be) or language levels (the plugin > depends on > : JBoss Cache 2.x, which requires JDK 5) then I'm happy to host the > plugin > : externally. > > contribs can run require 1.5 already ... an soon the trunk will move > to > 1.5 so that's not really an issue, the licensing may be, but it > depends on > how the integration with JBoss winds up working (ie: i don't know if > having the build scripts download JBoss at build time to compile > against > them is allowed or not) > > Who would the best person be to contact about this?
