public final class FrenchStemFilter
extends org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenFilter

A TokenFilter that stems french words.

It supports a table of words that should not be stemmed at all. The used stemmer can be changed at runtime after the filter object is created (as long as it is a FrenchStemmer).

NOTE: This stemmer does not implement the Snowball algorithm correctly, especially involving case problems. It is recommended that you consider using the "French" stemmer in the snowball package instead. This stemmer will likely be deprecated in a future release.
