Apache Lucene - Lucene Contrib
Lucene Contrib
The Lucene Java project also contains a workspace, Lucene Contrib (formerly known as the Lucene Sandbox), that is open both to all Lucene Java core committers and to developers whose commit rights are restricted to the Contrib workspace; these developers are referred to as "Contrib committers". The Lucene Contrib workspace hosts the following types of packages:
- Various third party contributions.
- Contributions with third party dependencies - the Lucene Java core distribution has no external runtime dependencies.
- New ideas that are intended for eventual inclusion into the Lucene Java core.
Users are free to experiment with the components developed in the Contrib workspace, but Contrib packages will not necessarily be maintained, particularly in their current state. The Lucene Java core backwards compatibility commitments (see http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BackwardsCompatibility) do not necessarily extend to the packages in the Contrib workspace. See the README.txt file for each Contrib package for details. If the README.txt file does not address its backwards compatibility commitments, users should assume it does not make any compatibility commitments.
See Contrib CHANGES for changes included in the current release.
You can access the current trunk Contrib repository at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/contrib/.
