stemming library in java

Question

Is there any library for stemming in java!?

Are we talking about: [Linguistic morphology stemming](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming)? — wkl, Dec 14 '10 at 22:31

You might want to look at Apache Lucene. It is generally written to do other things, but it does some stemming as part of its indexing process.

There is an implementation of Porter's stemmer available on his website. The code is not very Java-ish, but it does what it's supposed to, plus it's only a single class.

@mad_programmer: at the end of the class file, there's a `main` method that demonstrates the use of the class. – Thomas Dec 15 '10 at 22:23

Updated Answer: Porter recommends a later version of what is available on his website. That is Snowball: http://snowball.tartarus.org/ It is essentially a code generator that can generate a Java or C stemmer based on a stemmer specification.
