Jamie, That's a good solution, but alas, there's no attachment to your post (in my copy, anyway). Could you either enclose the patch within your e-mail (so it doesn't get stripped), and/or point me to the appropriate Bugzilla (or whatever) location?
Much thanks in advance, Terry PS: I assume this is the same patch that Otis referred to in response to my previous message? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lucene Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 5:53 AM Subject: Re: New FieldSortedHitQueue uses Java 1.4 feature > If you're wanting to test the current cvs version then > check the code out from cvs and apply the patch > attached to this post. > > (copy the patch into the directory that you ran the > cvs checkout command in, then run: patch < > FieldSortedHitQueueJava13.patch) > > Then compile, and you'll have a lucene 1.4 jar that > works on a 1.3 jvm. > > jamie > > --- Terry Steichen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I wonder if someone could clear up this issue.
