Yes, I understand that. In looking at the code it is quite obviously
of the same origin (i.e. from Martin Porter) but may be an older
version (I couldn't quite tell). It doesn't come close to any normal
Java programming guidelines, and while I didn't try to modify the
latest version so that it would, entirely, because part of the
reason I think whoever wrote the original code formatted it the way
they did was to enable an easier reading of the comparison strings.
I've tried to come to some compromise, as well as (as I mentioned)
predeclaring the Strings so that the VM isn't constantly recreating
them.
Brian,
Thanks -- understood (both messages). With code as complicated to
read as the PorterStemmer, I can understand the reasons. In the
end, is there any desire for me to post the updated class I've
created, or should I assume that it will be deprecated in favour
of the Snowball code? If there's no need for my version, I'm
fine with that, I just wouldn't want to dump it for no reason,
nor push insertion of it into Lucene against anyone's wishes.
Cheers,
Murray
