Hello everyone, I originally posted this question to the developers list, but was asked to repeat it here.
I'm working on some new functionality I plan to submit for Lucene. In doing this I've noticed that Lucene currently maintains compatibility with JDK 1.1. This has some disadvantages for instance the use of "vector" versus some of the new collections. Next, some of the functionality I plan to add requires JDK 1.2. Finally, some of the internationalization features of Java do not work well in 1.1. For these reasons I suggest a move to 1.2+. While it seems reasonable to me to drop support for a >4 year old version of the JDK, I realize it may still present a problem to some users and would like to raise a discussion on this. How many people are still using 1.1 and would be negatively affected by Lucene's use of 1.2 features? Of those, how many people can not move to 1.2 for server side development? -Andy -- www.superlinksoftware.com www.sourceforge.net/projects/poi - port of Excel format to java http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4487555.html - fix java generics!
