Our project have encountered an urgent situation in which we have to migrate all modules into Axon.ivy v5.1.4. The migration have some serious trouble with Lucene.

Our project uses Lucene v3.6.0 and we have the lucene-core-v3.6.0.jar in our buildpath. After migrating into Axon.ivy 5.1.4, the project cannot built anymore since we get strange complilation error:

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Ivy Web Service Process Class Builder' on project 'test'.
Bad return type

We found out that the Axon.ivy has upgraded Lucene to v4.5.1 which contains a lots of incompatible changes compared to Lucene v3.6.0. The problem is we could not find a way to force the Axon.ivy build the project with lucene-core-v3.6.0.jar instead of the built-in lucene-core-v4.5.1.jar

UPDATE

We later tried to upgrade our implementation into Lucene 4.5.1 but got several other problems:

(1) Axon.ivy issues warnings about we are trying to access Lucene API.

(2) Start the project in Axon.ivy Designer will encounter ClassNotFoundException:

.. even if all the jars are shipped with Axon.ivy.

(3) If we try to include the jars file into our projects (in the classpath), the build will halt with the Bad Return Type error above.

QUESTIONS

• How could we force the Axon.ivy to build our projects using the lucene-core-v3.6.0 instead of the lucene-core-v4.5.1 shipped with Axon.ivy?
• Why do we get strange problems when building the projects with built-in Lucene library of Axon.ivy v5.1.4?

SAMPLE PROJECTS

I attach in this email the two sample projects which illustrate the problems we are facing. We tested the two with AxonIvyDesigner5.1.4.48243_Windows_x64:

• use_built_in_lucene.iar: This project illustrates the problem which we cannot built the project if it uses Lucene's classes.
• use_external_lucene.iar: This project illustrates the problem which we purposely include the Lucene's jar files but the project still fails.

UPDATE 2 (extend the answer)

The solution from Reguel Wermelinger which suggest to repack all the classes in lucene-core-v3.6.0.jar in different package name works.

1- Download JarJar (hosted on Google Code, if you read this after 25.01.2016, please search it on GitHub).

2 - Put the file lucene-core-v3.6.0.jar at the same directory at JarJar.

3 - Create a text file, namely rules.txt, contains one line

rule org.apache.lucene.** org.apache.lucene.v3_6_0.@1

4 - Execute the command

$ java -jar jarjar.jar rules.txt lucene-core-v3.6.0.jar lucene-core-v3.6.0-repacked.jar

5 - Done!

You can download the already-repackged lucene-core-v3.6.0-repacked.jar

Please note that this is only a work-around. The Axon.ivy still has problem if you use the Lucene v4.5.1 shipped with it.
