> Subject: [VOTE] Drop Java 5 support for trunk (Lucene 4.0)
>
> This issue has been discussed on various occasions and lately on
> LUCENE-3239 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3239)
>
> The main reasons for this have been discussed on the issue but let me
> put them out here too:
>
> - Lack of testing on Jenkins with Java 5
> - Java 5 end of lifetime is reached a long time ago so Java 5 is
> totally unmaintained which means for us that bugs have to either be
> hacked around, tests disabled, warnings placed, but some things simply
> cannot be fixed... we cannot actually "support" something that is no
> longer maintained: we do find JRE bugs
> (http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/SunJavaBugs) and its important
> that bugs actually get fixed: cannot do everything with hacks.\
> - due to Java 5 we legitimate performance hits like 20% slower grouping
> speed.
>
> For reference please read through the issue mentioned above.
>
> A lot of the committers seem to be on the same page here to drop Java
> 5 support so I am calling out an official vote.
>
> all Lucene 3.x releases will remain with Java 5 support this vote is
> for trunk only.
