You can use the artifact from Hudson as Mike told, but the JAR file

Ugh -- this is no good: it's a break to our back-compat, I think? Ie
when we
say "complete API back-compatbility", here:
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BackwardsCompatibility
We mean you can drop in new JAR and run your app w/ no problems, right?
Uwe, how could we fix it (LUCENE-1478) so we get back to "drop-in new
JAR"
back compatibility?
Also, it'd be great to fix "ant test-tag" to somehow test "jar drop-in
back compat",
vs "full recompilation against new JAR" that it does today. It'd have
to check out
the full sources on the back-compat tag, compile JAR & tests from
those old
sources, swap in new JAR, then run the tests.
