I hadn't heard any discussion about bumping up to Java 1.4 in the Lucene 1.4 release. Was this just overlooked or are we planning to drop support for pre 1.4 JVMs?
There hasn't been any discussion yet, so, by default, we should still try to make things work in Java 1.2.
That said, maybe we should have such a discussion. Folks have been encountering strange bugs using Lucene in Java 1.3 recently. There are some features of Java 1.4 which could be useful, e.g., LinkedHashMap, for easy implementation of LRU caches, regex support, logging, xml parsers, etc. So there are good reasons to move to 1.4.
Are there reasons not to move to 1.4? 1.4 has been out for two years now, and is pretty stable, but perhaps there are reasons some folks are still unable to use it. If so, please speak up.
