Hi all,

  I have ported the kstem stemmer to Java and incorporated it to Lucene. You can get 
the source code (Kstem.jar) from the following website:

http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/downloads/

  Just click on "KStem Java Implementation" (you will need to register your e-mail, 
for free of course, with the CIIR --Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval, 
UMass -- and get an access code).


Content of Kstem.jar:

java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData1.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData2.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData3.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData4.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData5.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData6.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData7.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemData8.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemFilter.java
java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/KStemmer.java

KStemData1.java, ..., KStemData8.java   Contain several lists of words used by Kstem
KStemmer.java      Implements the Kstem algorithm 
KStemFilter.java     Extends TokenFilter applying Kstem


To compile

unjar the file Kstem.jar to Lucene's "src" directory, and compile it there. 


What is Kstem?

  A stemmer designed by Bob Krovetz (for more information see 
http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/pubfiles/ir-35.pdf).
