Thanks for that pointer!  That link lead me to this link:
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BackwardsCompatibility - Which makes it sound like I can only expect backwards compatibility within the current
major version.

Sorry, I read your post too fast. You are right, 3.0 may or may not be able to read 2.0 indices.

When/if Lucene hits V3.0, it doesn't sound like there's a commitment for it to be able to read 2.X indexes. Right? How about Lucene 4.0, will that be able to read indexes in the 2.0 format? (Yes, I know there's a migration
path, however, that's not our goal - we'd like to keep our current
2.0archives in
2.0 format, and know that we can read/search them from future versions of
Lucene.

I'm curious, why is migrating the index not OK when it is OK to upgrade the software? It doesn't really add up in my head.

One solution would be to load the 2.0-jar from a secondary classloader. But that is probably not what you want though.
