RE: [Classifier4j-devel] Bayesian Case Study

Looking for java stemmers, I found these:

Lovins Stemmer
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stemmers/

Snowball
Source Code
http://snowball.tartarus.org/snowball_java.tgz
Home Page
http://snowball.tartarus.org/

I don't even know what this is:
http://mailweb.udlap.mx/~hermes/javadoc/mx/udlap/ict/u_dl_a/irserver/qprocessor
s/EnglishStemmer.html

This is evidently the OFFICIAL Porter stemmer
http://www.tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/

Lucene evidently uses snowball, as previously stated by Moedusa.

One important piece of information I picked up from the vector-space 
information was to run stop-list BEFORE stemming.

That's it for now, surely one of these will do the trick.
