Perhaps the technical pain of upgrade is largely mythical, but it's real pain for real users who have no say over what version of Java they can run (or at a minimum have to jump through a lot of hoops to change the java version). There is no right answer... it's a judgement call where we should weigh all the factors each time we require a new Java version. People may weigh factors differently, but no factor should be dismissed out of hand. As you say, this isn't a new argument... here's what Doug had to say: http://markmail.org/message/7mafuwu5n36u2fva -Yonik http://heliosearch.org - native code faceting, facet functions, sub-facets, off-heap data --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
