Hi all, I've been investigating the use of Lucene as part of an application that uses the Java Module System. Initially, I used Gradle to bring in lucene-core, lucene-spatial and lucene-queries using version 8.5.0. This works with the automated module naming. However, bringing in lucene-queryparser (which depends on lucene-sandbox) or lucene-analyzers-common causes errors such as:
"The package org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard is accessible from more than one module: lucene.analyzers.common, lucene.core" The Java module system does not handle different jar files using the same package name which occurs throughout multiple maven artifacts. Looking at the LUCENE issues, I found the task of moving to a minimum version of Java 11, however, this does not mention the ability to be compatible with the module system. I also checked the git repository and couldn't find the required changes to support the module system. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8738 I looked through the dev list recent history but could not find anything related. Are there any plans to support modules? Given, I saw there are a number of other breaking changes happening with the move to Lucene 9.0, would it be good to make those changes? Thanks, David.
