[Snowball-discuss] latin stemmer -> java

[Dirk Rothe]

Hello,

I've tried to build a java-version of the the latin stemmer[1] with:
./snowball latin.sbl -j -n LatinStemmer -o LatinStemmer

But the resulting .java file [attached] seems not to be compilable. I  
tried to build the Stemmer within Lucene[2]/pylucene[3], so it's not  
exactly an isolated testcase. Sorry for that.

[...]
compile-core:
     [javac] Compiling 10 source files to  
D:\pylucene\pylucene-2.9.1-1\lucene-java-2.9.1\build\contrib\snowball\classes\java

I've tried the compilation with another stemmer, the dutch[4] one, and had  
no problems. So I think my setup should be sane.

Any hints, what could be wrong with the produced .java file?

thnx,
Dirk Rothe
