That is exactly as said: Lucene main branch is our development branch and will possibly be branched as Lucene 10, this branch is currently at Java 17 minimum.

For current releases of Apache Lucene 9, we use a separate branch "branch_9x" where we cherry-pick stuff. This branch runs with Java 11 minimum (but of course runs also with 17 or later; when Java 19 is out we will also have a Multi-Release JAR file with the MMapDirectory IO implementation based on Java Project Panama).

branch_8x is in a completely different repository (together with Apache Solr) and updated seldomly now (by cross-repo cherry-picking).

Hi Uwe,

I am a little confused by your 2 statements.

Lucene 9.x series requires JDK 11 to run
The main branch is already on JDK 17
Will Lucene 9.x run on JDK 17?
Is 9.x 'the main branch'?

Thanks,

     Hi Jie,

     actually the Lucene 9.x series requires JDK 11 to run, previous versions
     also work with Java 8. The main branch is already on JDK 17. From my
     knowledge, you may only use Lucene versions up to 8 to have at least a
     chance to run it. But with older Android version you may even need to go
     back to Lucene builds targetting JDK 7 (Lucene 5 ?, don't know).

     But this is only half of the story: Lucene actually uses many many
     modern JDK and JVM features that are partly not implemented in Dalvik.
     It uses MethodHandles instead of reflection and the Java 8+ version use
     lambdas which were not compatible with older Android SDKs.

     So in short: Use older version and hope, but we offer no support or are
     not keen to apply changes to Lucene so it can be used with Android at
     all - because Android is not really compatible to any Java spec like API
     or memory model.
