And why should Oracle have to worry about what the Lucene guys are doing anyway. Now that they know about the bug they will test for it. But they can't be expected to test every piece of software out there that runs on Java. The Lucene guys should have tested against Java7 long ago and seen this issue and reported it or worked around it. I'm just glad that a new version is out and I can't wait for Java8 and hopefully get some long awaited for features, better date library, and much more. With a great Java8 release, Java as a language will have a long life ahead.
