A tokenfilter to decompose compound words
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1166
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Analysis
            Reporter: Thomas Peuss
         Attachments: CompoundTokenFilter.patch

A tokenfilter to decompose compound words you find in many germanic languages 
(like German, Swedish, ...) into single tokens.

An example: Donaudampfschiff would be decomposed to Donau, dampf, schiff so 
that you can find the word even when you only enter "Schiff".

I use the hyphenation code from the Apache XML project FOP 
(http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) to do the first step of decomposition. 
Currently I use the FOP jars directly. I only use a handful of classes from the 
FOP project.

My question now:
Would it be OK to copy this classes over to the Lucene project (renaming the 
packages of course) or should I stick with the dependency to the FOP jars? The 
FOP code uses the ASF V2 license as well.

What do you think?
