A few changes has been made to the static Snowball code and compiled stemmers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Class SnowballProgram is made abstract and contains new abstract method stem() to avoid reflection in Lucene filter class SnowballFilter.
|
|
|
|
|
* All use of StringBuffers has been refactored to StringBuilder for speed.
|
|
|
|
|
* Snowball BSD license header has been added to the Java classes to avoid having RAT adding new ASL headers.
