+<h2 id="12-march-2014-apache-lucene-48-and-apache-solr-48-will-require-java-7">12 March 2014 - Apache Lucene 4.8 and Apache Solr 4.8 will require Java 7</h2>
+<p>The Apache Lucene/Solr committers decided with a large majority on the vote to require <strong>Java 7</strong> for the next minor release of Apache Lucene and Apache Solr (version 4.8)!</p>
+<p>The next release will also contain some improvements for Java 7:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Better file handling (especially on Windows) in the directory implementations. Files can now be deleted on windows, although the index is still open - like it was always possible on Unix environments (delete on last close semantics).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Speed improvements in sorting comparators: Sorting now uses Java 7's own comparators for integer and long sorts, which are highly optimized by the Hotspot VM..</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>If you want to stay up-to-date with Lucene and Solr, you should upgrade your infrastructure to Java 7.
+Please be aware that you must use at least use Java 7u1.
+The recommended version at the moment is Java 7u25. Later versions like 7u40, 7u45,... have a bug causing index corrumption.
+Ideally use the Java 7u60 prerelease, which has fixed this bug. Once 7u60 is out, this will be the recommended version.
+In addition, there is no Oracle/BEA JRockit available for Java 7, use the official Oracle Java 7.
+JRockit was never working correctly with Lucene/Solr (causing index corrumption), so this should not be an issue for you.
+Please also review our list of JVM bugs: <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/JavaBugs">http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/JavaBugs</a></p>
