All it takes is one line in the announcement saying "Version 3.0 uses Java 1.5" I don't think the significance will be lost on anyone. Everyone knows what Java 1.5 is. I'm -1 on calling it 4.0. People will then ask where is 3.0. I am +1 for sticking w/ the plan we voted for as described on http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/Java_1%2e5_Migration (last edited 10/1/2007) It's not like we are springing this on anyone. In fact, I'd be more than happy to announce it on the user list to let people know ahead of time.
I'm fine with the plan as far as I understand it, but can you clarify something for me?
While 3.0 won't be backward compatible in that it requires Java 5.0, will it be otherwise backward compatible? That is, if I compile with 2.9, eliminate all deprecations and use Java 5, can I drop 3.0 in and expect it to work without any further changes?
I think that is what I am reading wrt the plan. DM --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
