Maybe some time after the 4.x branch is created, the trunk can move to Java
7?
3.x branch supports Java 5, 4.x and current trunk support Java 6. Seems
natural to me that the future 5.x and future trunk would support Java 7...

OK, that settles that <G>, 1.6 going forward.

Sorry, I misunderstood the original question...
-1 to *only* support Java 7 in both Lucene and Solr. This is way to early.
Java 7 is not yet released to the public end user, you can only get it as "developer" resource, not on official end-user java download triggered e.g. from the browser on missing plugin.

Lucene's purpose is to be a dependency for other projects, and that
would force all those projects to require Java7 also. Seems like that
should wait.
Solr is a different matter, and has historically moved to new Java
versions earlier. But it feels a bit early there too... unless the
features in Java7 outweigh the potential pain to people when we
require it.

Which just begs the question (sorry if it has been discussed before) of

I see no problem in supporting Java 7. All tests run with Java 7, both 3.x and trunk. I have a production instance of Lucene running with Java 7. The only requirement is u1.
Lucene 3.5 was the first version not only compiling against Java 7 worked, but also running all tests. The code already makes use of reflection detected Java 7 code when reporting supressed Exceptions.

It's only close as a date. It is rather far away in practice. It is
developer only at this point.
Also, they are working on a Mac version, but I doubt it will be
available before 6 is EOL. And when it is available, I wonder how far
back it will go in support of prior Mac OS versions.
That said, I think it is reasonable to expect that Lucene 1.x, 2.x, 3.x,
4.x will be run on Java 7 and that it will run well. While 1.x and 2.x
require 1.4, 3.x requires 5, and 4.x requires 6. It might be good to
test (some of) these using 7. That is build with a prior version and
test with a more recent version.
Is there a place (e.g. on the wiki) that states what is supported as a jre?
