I'd prefer it to stay 1.4 for now and would be willing to make the change, if needed.

Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1629:
--------------------------------------------

bq. There is lots of code depending on Java 1.5, I use enum, generalization frequently. Because I saw these points on apache wiki:

Well... "in general" contrib packages can be 1.5, but the analyzers contrib package is widely used, and is not 1.5 now, so it's a biggish change to force it to 1.5 with this. We should at least separate discuss in on java-dev if we want to consider allowing 1.5 code into contrib-analyzers.

We could hold off on committing this until 3.0?

contrib intelligent Analyzer for Chinese

               Key: LUCENE-1629
               URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1629
           Project: Lucene - Java
        Issue Type: Improvement
        Components: contrib/analyzers
  Affects Versions: 2.4.1
       Environment: for java 1.5 or higher, lucene 2.4.1
          Reporter: Xiaoping Gao
       Attachments: analysis-data.zip, LUCENE-1629.patch


I wrote a Analyzer for apache lucene for analyzing sentences in Chinese language. it's called "imdict-chinese-analyzer", the project on google code is here: http://code.google.com/p/imdict-chinese-analyzer/ In Chinese, "我是中国人"(I am Chinese), should be tokenized as "我"(I) "是"(am) "中国人"(Chinese), not "我" "是中" "国 人". So the analyzer must handle each sentence properly, or there will be mis-understandings everywhere in the index constructed by Lucene, and the accuracy of the search engine will be affected seriously! Although there are two analyzer packages in apache repository which can handle Chinese: ChineseAnalyzer and CJKAnalyzer, they take each character or every two adjoining characters as a single word, this is obviously not true in reality, also this strategy will increase the index size and hurt the performance baddly. The algorithm of imdict-chinese-analyzer is based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM), so it can tokenize chinese sentence in a really intelligent way. Tokenizaion accuracy of this model is above 90% according to the paper "HHMM-based Chinese Lexical analyzer ICTCLAL" while other analyzer's is about 60%. As imdict-chinese-analyzer is a really fast and intelligent. I want to contribute it to the apache lucene repository.
