Hi RichSimon, In short: Solr is only compatible to the version it is shipped with (or the other minor patch levels). So Solr 1.4 works with Lucene 2.9, so you must have any Lucene 2.9.x in your classpath. Lucene 3.0 is a major release of Lucene and had removed all backwards compatibility layers, that are still existent in Lucene 2.9 (functionality is identical in 2.9 and 3.0). Unfortunately, Solr 1.4 still used some of the deprecated code, so it's not compatible.
About one year ago, Lucene and Solr merged to one Apache project and now Lucene and Solr is released together with same version number. The latest Lucene and Solr release in 3.1. But again, Solr should only be used with the version it is shipped with. There was never a separate release of Solr for Lucene 3.0, you can only upgrade or downgrade. matchVersion parameters have less to do with API compatibility (sometimes it is used also for that to keep backwards), but it's more used to control behavior of some analyzers (means how text tokenization is done to make analysis compatible between different versions).
