Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-4276:
------------------------------------
An external file allows one to add additional versions later on. E.g. we don't
know today that an already released JVM doesn't cause such bugs, because we
didn't test it, or it will appear later on. It's another reason to put this
check in a file.
Then, for people that use Lucene to create software for other people, they can
add such versions to the file, instead of recompiling Lucene.

> There are some jvms where we know lucene does not work at all and will just
> produce things like corrupt indexes.
> We should detect this in a static block of Constants.java and refuse to run
> at all.
