Bug#973331: omegat: please upgrade to use at least lucene 5.2.1

[Markus Koschany]

Package: omegat
Version: 3.6.0.10+dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I intend to remove solr from Debian before we freeze for Debian 11.
It would be ideal if we could also remove liblucene3-java and
liblucene3-contrib-java which are both built by src:lucene-solr too.
Omegat is the only reverse-dependency.

lucene3 is quite old, so an update to at least 5.2.1 seems to be
preferable. This is the same version omegat 5.3.0 appears to be depend
on, the latest upstream release.

However they seem to use a modified version

https://sourceforge.net/p/omegat/bugs/813/

As long as omegat is the only r-dep it wouldn't be too bad.

I'm filing this bug report only as severity normal because we can just
keep the binary packages for lucene3 for the foreseeable future but it
would be nice to have a newer version of lucene and omegat anyway.
Note there is also lucene4 package in Debian but I don't think it is
suitable for omegat.
