Grant, Sean and Robin, thanks guys, i got the lucene-snowball-2.9.1.jar and extended SnowballAnlyzer to a GenericSnowballAnlyzer class. Its constructor takes no arguments and calls the SnowballAnlyzer constructor public GenericSnowballAnalyzer(){ super(Version.LUCENE_23, "English", StopWordFilter.getStopWords()); } i created an inner class with a map of stopwords (StopWordFilter) for the constructor to avoid having to add another jar to the project. to add the snowball jar to the project, i had to add it to the ./m2/repository and update the MAHOUT_ROOT/pom.xml and MAHOUT_CORE/pom.xml to capture the dependency. this worked out guys i was able to generate the vectors..thanks guys.
