I guess since apache con we all agree on not using any of those ambiguous terms for class naming anymore! Yet, before we think about a name we should rather check if we can make this new functionality optional in the already existing code. Each time I see German2Stemmer it reminds me of this code duplication inside snowball / analyzers which needs cleanup. LUCENE-1515 has been around for some time so we should not rush with a commit until we have found a good solution hopefully without having a Swedish2Stemmer.java. > > >> >> On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 8:28 AM, Grant Ingersoll <gsing...@apache.org> wrote: >>> >>> On Dec 31, 2009, at 11:29 AM, Karl Wettin wrote: >>> >>>> 1515 is an alternative Swedish stemmer that handles a couple of things >>>> unsupported by the original stemmer.
