[Snowball-discuss] Java implementation of the Portuguese stemming algorithm

[Pedro Oliveira]

I've just downloaded the stemmer from the webpage and it's working. The 
<br> tags are used to create a formatted JavaDoc description of the 
Class (it is very useful when using an IDE).
Since the filename was edited to portuguese_java.txt, it is better to 
delete the "public" statement in the class declaration, i.e.,
public class PortuguesePorterStemmer{
goes to
class PortuguesePorterStemmer{

This way users only have to rename the portuguese_java.txt to 
portuguese_java.java and use it. Otherwise, users have to rename the 
file to PortuguesePorterStemmer.java, since a public class must have a 
file with the same name.

Regards,
Pedro Oliveira
