The rationale, or at least the one I'm making up right now, is that if you pull down the source distribution, modify some files, and build it, you are now most definitely *not* using Lucene 1.4.3. It would be confusing to those of us supporting Lucene to get a bug report for 1.4.3 when it is really a custom forked version.

Erik,

Thank you for your answer. I unpacked my home built
lucene-1.5-rc1-dev.jar and the binary download lucene-1.4.3.jar and ran
WinMerge over them (it can tell if binary files are different) -
results: the only differences are in the MANIFEST.MF file and they are
pretty minimal. Just out of curiosity: what is the reasoning behind this
setup?

You have not erred.  The build file has a version property set to
1.5-rc1-dev.  If you want the JAR named something different, either
rename it after it is built or change the Ant property (using the -D
switch to ant).

Maybe our source distributions should have the right version
built-in,
though it is currently intentional (I believe) - if you really
want the
exact lucene-1.4.3.jar, simply download the binary distribution
instead.

Hail Listoids!

I just started investigating lucene. I downloaded
lucene-1.4.3-src.zip,
unzipped and built with ant, but i get some strange results:

D:\scrap\java\lucene\lucene-1.4.3>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

init:
    [mkdir] Created dir: D:\scrap\java\lucene\lucene-1.4.3\build
    [mkdir] Created dir: D:\scrap\java\lucene\lucene-1.4.3\dist

compile-core:
    [mkdir] Created dir:

     [rmic] RMI Compiling 1 class to

jar-core:
      [jar] Building jar:
D:\scrap\java\lucene\lucene-1.4.3\build\lucene-1.5-rc1-dev.jar
------------------------------------------------------------------
^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
default:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 19 seconds


likewise the jar-demo target yields lucene-demos-1.5-rc1-dev.jar.

Maybe i'm confused, but i was kind of expecting lucene-1.4.3.jar

I will freely admit that i could have STFW a *bit* more
before sending
this. If i have erred, smack me with a cluestick.
