Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2688:
-------------------------------------

bq. Luckily Android includes java.util.concurrent - what if it didn't? Would we 
attempt to fix Lucene too (IndexReader wouldn't work, for example).

I think it goes much deeper than this, besides having the APIs, do they 
*actually work* ?

For example, with apache harmony (android uses its classlib!) 
there was/is some work to actually make tests pass: HARMONY-6640, HARMONY-6648, 
HARMONY-6649, HARMONY-6650

fortunately the harmony developers were very helpful in getting things moving, 
but my point is that unless the tests pass, its pointless to waste time looking 
at the APIs

> NativeFSLockFactory throws an exception on Android 2.2 platform as 
> java.lang.management package is not available on android.
>    Looks like FSDirectory defaults to NativeFSLockFactory, and this class 
> refers to java.lang.management package to generate a unique lock. 
> java.lang.management is not available in Android 2.2 and hence a runtime 
> exception is raised. The workaround is to use another custom LockFactory or 
> SimpleFSLockFactory, but Fixing NativeFSLockFactroy will help.
> Thanks,
