The questions still remain, though, and lawyers do want to know the
answers:
- How did JDK code get into Lucene's codebase to begin with?
- Is there any more lingering?
Doug? Anyone?

I was e-mailed offline with a link that pointed to the Arrays.java
code in Lucene 1.3. In fact, *I'm* the one that removed that file
over a year ago because it was unused. So I think we're in good
shape.

Meanwhile, here's a license issue for the proposed new PMC to
grapple with: apparently Josua Bloch is listed as a contributor. He
originally worked for Sun, but now works for Google. According to
him, he "did not knowingly contribute any code to Lucene". Nor can
I find him participating in either the user or developer mailing
lists for Lucene.
The code in question apparently is related to "array utilities", and
he apparently did contribute to java.util.Arrays, but that code
belongs to Sun and while the source is published, it is neither open
source nor compatible with the Apache Software License.
I'm still trying to track down more details, but if anybody can
provide any insight into how the contribution was actually made, I
would appreciate it.
I believe this is the one and only piece mentioning Josh Bloch:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-lucene/src/java/org/
apache/lucene/util/Arrays.java?hideattic=0&rev=1.2&view=auto
This code was removed (by me, no less :O) in December '03.
If there is anything else that is questionable, let me know.
