Others have done a much better , more through job of explaining the issues in previous discussions. It would be best to re-read those.
One way to understand it, is if Lucene.NET cannot be compared to the reference source code (Lucene core "java Lucene") than it becomes nearly impossible to validate that Lucene.NET is functioning correctly, that bug fixes made in Lucene core have been implemented in Lucene.NET, etc. The same goes for unit tests, if they cannot be compared with the ones from Lucene core line-by-line than there is no way to know that they perform the intended tests and run correctly. - Neal -----Original Message----- From: Wyatt Barnett [mailto:wyatt.barn...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 2:57 PM To: lucene-net-dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: [Lucene.Net] Is a Lucene.Net Line-by-Line Jave port needed? Those are pretty strong words -- I'd really like to know why I shouldn't trust anything but a line-by-line port. Can you explain a bit?
