<h2 class="boxed">Lucene Contrib</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>
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:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Various third party contributions.</li>
<li>
Contributions with third party dependencies - the Lucene Java core
distribution has no external runtime dependencies.
</li>
<li>
New ideas that are intended for eventual inclusion into the Lucene
Java core.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
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
<a href="http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BackwardsCompatibility">http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BackwardsCompatibility</a>)
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.
</p>
<p>
See <a href="../changes/Contrib-Changes.html">Contrib CHANGES</a> for changes included in the current release.
</p>
<p>
You can access the current trunk Contrib repository at
<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/</a>.
