Paul - if stemming is what you're looking for, then grab the SnowballAnalyzer code from Subversion under contrib/snowball. Or you could get a binary copy of the JAR from the source code distribution of Lucene in Action at http://www.lucenebook.com (and see examples of its use in the sample code there). Lucene's JAR does have a built-in PorterStemFilter, but none of the built-in analyzers use it, and the SnowballAnalyzer is more commonly used anyway.


What is the differences between, PorterStemFilter, GermanFilter and the filters in SnowballAnalyzers ?

GermanStemFilter (not GermanFilter) is specific to German. PorterStemFilter is for English. SnowballAnalyzer is an engine that runs any of the available stemmers (there is German, a few different English ones, and several other language-specific stemmers).

Your best bet would be to give each of them a try on some sample text and see which one fits best for your needs.
