As Lucene's contrib hasn't been fully converted either (and its been quite

hope this doesn't sound like a complaint,
Complaints are fine in any case. Every now and then, it might cause a
little rant from me or something, but please don't let that dissuade you :)
Who doesnt like to rant and rave now and then. As long as thoughts and
opinions are coming out in a non negative way (which certainly includes
complaints),
I think its all good.
but in my opinion this is
because many do not have any tests.
I converted a few of these and its just grunt work but if there are no
tests, its impossible to verify the conversion is correct.
Thanks for pointing that out. We probably get lazy with tests,
especially in contrib, and this brings up a good point - we should
probably push
for tests or write them before committing more often. Sometimes I'm sure
it just comes downto a tradeoff though - no resources at the time,
the class looked clear cut, and it was just contrib anyway. But then
here we are ... a healthy dose of grunt work is bad enough when you have
tests to check it.
