Hi All,
 
Thanks for the quick and really awesome responses.  The java version of 
Lttoolbox is /*exactly*/ what I was hoping to find (and not have to 
write myself)!  Looking through the source code for the processing main, 
it doesn't look too hard to use the internal classes as a library and 
feed it strings. 

On a related note, if i just want to do morphological analysis of 
English, which language pair should I start with?  Or is there an all 
encompassing English morphological dictionary that someone maintains?  
If not, how troublesome would it be to merge the existing different 
English dictionary files?

Cheers and Thanks,
--Keith
