I have a class that searchs for some documents in an existing index (see the code below). It works fine when I run it on a 1.4 JVM but it throws a NullPointerException (or crashes the JVM, in another computer) when I run it on a 1.3 JVM. I'm using Lucene 1.3rc1 and the exception/crash occurs in the "search" method.
Is it a bug ? Should I be doing something else ? Have you been using 1.3rc1 on 1.3 JVMs ?
I believe the bug only affects JDK 1.3.0, I've never seen this issue on any JDK newer than and including 1.3.1. I think there may be a bug report logged against this bug already IIRC.
