What features should be encouraged? discouraged? not allowed?
For example, should annotations be used where possible? or is it purely
optional?
What about "static import"? I find that DoHicky.WHATS_IT a bit more
revealing than WHATS_IT, as it tells me its origin.
Should enhanced for loops be used where possible? Does that mean that
existing loops should change? If not, does the mix of old loop and new
loop create a point of confusion or a maintenance problem?
Should autoboxing/unboxing be used? Under what circumstances is the
performance hit acceptable.
What have other projects done? Can we learn from their experiences?

I would ammend that proposal slightly...
1a) Lucene Core 2.0.* releases garuntee java1.4 compatibility
1b) Lucene Contrib modules in 2.0.* releases are free to require any java
version they choose.
2a) Lucene Core 2.1.* release garuntee java1.5 compatibility.
2b) Lucene Contrib modules in 2.1.* releases are free to require any java
version they choose.
