-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Generated Java code for stemmers is broken, and should be 
re-generated
                 Key: OPENNLP-1520
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-1520
             Project: OpenNLP
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Stemmer
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Jon Marius Venstad


The recursive stemming, which seems hard to actually trigger, but which is the 
intended usage of the {{methodObject }}and {{method}} in the {{Among}} class 
(called reflectively) is completely broken. First off, it tries to invoke a 
private method from outside the class (from a parent class, the 
{{{}SnowballProgram{}}}), which fails with an illegal access exception; if that 
worked, it would also have invoked _all_ such method calls on the _same, 
shared, static object_—not on the relevant stemmer instance. 
This was fixed 8 years ago, but it looks like the generated code in the 
opennlp-tools is 10 years old. I would urge you to re-generate that code. 
 
Commit that fixed the Java code generation:
