One mechanism that would work is versioned Java package names or class names.
The current release would get the good names. If a user wanted the old jar
they'd have to get it from the current release (e.g.
lucene-analyzers-3.5_3.0.jar) and then change their code to use the old stuff
which now has either a new package name or a new class name. Example,
trStemmer.java is going to be changed as the first breaking change since 3.0,
so trStemmer3_0.java is created as a copy and then trStemmer.java is changed.

Right, but I dont think Lucene should manage this. I think if we assume
"normally versioned releases", a user with a really complex case that needs
multiple versions of lucene working in the same JVM , like you, could use some
other tool (eclipse refactor or maybe google's jarjar) to do rename things?
