Description

The issue is to provide build/makefile support for a 3rd Java compiler.

To add a new directory named "vjc" under the "src" directory, following the pattern of the "gcj" directory
which provides build/makefile support for the GNU Java compiler.

The "vjc" folder would include a readme.txt file describing particular compiler and platform issues
and specific build notes. It would also contain the "solution" and "project" files needed to build
from the standard Java Lucene sources. Any platform-specific source code would also be contained
in this folder. A platform-specific patch file is also contained here, which ideally would be automatically
applied by the build process.

Work along these lines so far is available at http://alum.mit.edu/www/gjc/lucene-java-vjc.html
