Hi,
- trunk is on Java 7, yes. - Branch_4x (the stable branch) is now also on Java 7. This will be Release 4.8, arriving soon - Lucene_solr_4_7 was released as 4.7.1 today, still on Java 6. But it is unlikely that there will be a new release - Lucene_solr_3_6 will not get any new releases (is on Java 5) So any patch have to be on Java 7 and should be on trunk, sorry.

I see that trunk works on Java 1.7, which is kind of an impediment for me right now. Under which cases fixes/features go to a branch rather than trunk? Would this case be an example? Like working on branch lucene_solr_4_7 rather than trunk?

The community will then decide whether the feature/fix should also be backported to 4.x (very likely) and whether a 3.x releases is also needed (very unlikely).

I'd like to contribute but I'm unsure about the steps required. Firstly, I should create a JIRA ticket, I'm OK with that. Secondly, I should checkout a branch, do the fixes and post the patch. Now, which branch should I checkout ? The fix I'd like to contribute applies to SOLR 3.5.x, which is our production version, but I'm sure that's a bit obsolete. Also, I'm not sure if SOLR 4.x branch still uses the same kind of replication, let alone trunk, which heads to SOLR 5.x. So, which branch you think I should checkout? Should I also backport or 'forwardport' to other branches ? Thanks in advance -- Fermin Silva
