Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1724:
---------------------------------------

The problem is, some contribs must be build with 1.5. So you need to use at 
least 1.5 for the whole build. The core and anaylsis javac are parametrized 
with -source and -target to 1.4 which generates 1.4 java classes out of only 
1.4 compatible source code.

The problem here is, that the java compiler has no possibility to check if a 
*method/class* is available in 1.4, as it only knows his own rt.jar (normally 
it could e.g. use the @since javadoc tag, but this is not includedin the rt.jar 
and an annotation is not available). This is a well known problem to all java 
developers.

>
> I found compile errors when I tried to compile trunk with 1.4 JVM.
> org.apache.lucene.analysis.NormalizeCharMap
> org.apache.lucene.analysis.MappingCharFilter
> uses Character.valueOf() which has been added in 1.5.
> I added a CharacterCache (+ testcase) with a valueOf method as a replacement 
> for that quite useful method.
> org.apache.lucene.analysis.BaseTokenTestCase
> uses StringBuilder instead of the synchronized version StringBuffer 
> (available in 1.4)
> I will attach a patch shortly.
