Created attachment 40144 [details] Patch l10ntools and xmlhelp currently require on an outdated version of Lucene. The attached patch adds support for Lucene 3.x, but drops support for versions older than 2.9.
I am fine with the change but I use the internal Lucene. Rene, Caolan, do you have anything against the update?
Clearly we can't change from using lucene2 to lucene3 without at least updating the internal lucene to that version, otherwise the "stock" build will just fail. Ideally we would be able to build against both, seeing as we happen to still have lucene 2.4.1 as our latest version :-). As an aside, the --with-external-lucene would error with "you need lucene 2 or 3" if someone had lucene 2, right ?

Unfortunately Java doesn't have a preprocessor... :) > As an aside, the --with-external-lucene would error with "you need lucene 2 or > 3" if someone had lucene 2, right ? Jup, that needs to be changes to "need lucene 3" if we applied that patch
> Not per se, but Caolan is right: Hmm, I retract that, apparently we don't have lucene3 either yet (thought we had it in unstable or experimental) So we *do* need to support both I think...
Java doesn't have a processor so its kind of painful, but ant and our makefiles can conditionally compile one or another file so I'm sure we had some hackery in somewhere where we compile one or another file depending on something like Sun vs GCJ jdk but I can't seem to find it to use as an example.
