Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1257:
---------------------------------------

bq. What's the version of javacc being used/suggested currently ( the latest 
release seems to be 5.0 ) .

*From BUILD.txt* (I suggest to use this version 4.1, e.g. 4.2 has a bug that 
corrupts the parser somehow):

Step 3) Install JavaCC

Building the Lucene distribution from the source does not require the JavaCC
parser generator, but if you wish to regenerate any of the pre-generated
parser pieces, you will need to install JavaCC. Version 4.1 is tested to
work correctly.

  http://javacc.dev.java.net

Follow the download links and download the zip file to a temporary
location on your file system.

After JavaCC is installed, create a build.properties file
(as in step 2), and add the line

  javacc.home=/javacc

where this points to the root directory of your javacc installation
(the directory that contains bin/lib/javacc.jar).

> For my needs I've updated Lucene so that it uses Java 5 constructs. I know 
> Java 5 migration had been planned for 2.1 someday in the past, but don't know 
> when it is planned now. This patch against the trunk includes :
> - most obvious generics usage (there are tons of usages of sets, ... Those 
> which are commonly used have been generified)
> - PriorityQueue generification
> - replacement of indexed for loops with for each constructs
> - removal of unnececessary unboxing
> The code is to my opinion much more readable with those features (you 
> actually *know* what is stored in collections reading the code, without the 
> need to lookup for field definitions everytime) and it simplifies many 
> algorithms.
> Note that this patch also includes an interface for the Query class. This has 
> been done for my company's needs for building custom Query classes which add 
> some behaviour to the base Lucene queries. It prevents multiple unnnecessary 
> casts. I know this introduction is not wanted by the team, but it really 
> makes our developments easier to maintain. If you don't want to use this, 
> replace all /Queriable/ calls with standard /Query/.
