Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4276:
---------------------------------------
To come back to my last post:
The crazy thing is that OpenJDK versions shipped with Linux oerating systems
often have stupid version numbers (see above). In fact the Java 7 version
shipped with Ubuntu is called "7~b147-2.0-0ubuntu0.11.10.1", see
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/7~b147-2.0-0ubuntu0.11.10.1, but
it is *not* broken. This may also be the confusion we have with some users when
they report bugs (especially when they come from Linux). I am not happy about
that, but this is how it is, I dont think detecting broken versions is easy and
Robert's code can easily cause the problem. Vendor for OpenJDK is also "Oracle"
(they return it for conformance with original). And the O/S verndor patches
don't always raise version numbers of Hotspot.
So I think its too risky to fail hard! I think we should put it in the release
notes (like any other vendor of software does).
