Hi Damerian,
One way to handle your scenario is to hold on to the previous token, and only
emit a token after you reach at least the second token (or at end-of-stream).
Your incrementToken() method could look something like:
1. Get current attributes: input.incrementToken()
2. If previous token does not exist:
2a. Store current attributes as previous token (see
AttributeSource#cloneAttributes)
2b. Get current attributes: input.incrementToken()
3. Check for & store conditions that will affect previous token's attributes
4. Store current attributes as next token (see AttributeSource#cloneAttributes)
5. Copy previous token into current attributes (see AttributeSource#copyTo);
the target will be "this", which is an AttributeSource.
6. Make changes based on conditions found in step #3 above
7. set previous token = next token
8. return true
(Everywhere I say "token" I mean "instance of AttributeSource".)
The final token in the input stream will need special handling, as will
single-token input streams.
Good luck,
Steve
