A couple of classes to do tokenizing, stopword removal, and stemming on Strings in java.
Stemmer.java was taken almost COMPLETELY from tartarus.org's PorterStemmer. I only added some functionality so it can be passed entire words, instead of character by character. It can be used by passing it a single word, and it returns the stemmed version. eg:
String word = "running";
String stemmedWord = Stemmer.stem(word);
The overall class is Split.java. This one can take entire sentences or paragraphs and tokenize, remove stopwords, and use the stemmer. It returns an ArrayList
of the individual words.
String sentence = "The rain, it mostly falls...in Spain!";
ArrayList
words = Split.words(sentence);

/**
* Stemmer, implementing the Porter Stemming Algorithm
