The main reason is that lucene2 fails a number of unit tests when running
with java-gcj-compat, e.g. for the indexing of dates. See bug #468334.
This has been deemed serious enough to put lucene2 into contrib.

What I thinks needs to be done is look into the unit test failures more
closely, try to isolate java-gcj-compat bugs (or at least
incompatibilities with sun-java5/6) and try to have those bugs resolved.
Unfortunately, that will be quite a bit of work which I don't have time
for now.

I'm a bit reluctant to move lucene2 into main while we know it doesn't
work properly with java-gcj-compat, but I'll let Michael overrule me...

Cheers
