[Snowball-discuss] Query about French Stemmer to parse Email Id's

[Martin Porter]

I did not do the java codegenerator, but can still answer the
question, I think.

You don't need to download the snowball compiler, or snowball sources.
The generated java code has a simple calling mechanism (it handles one
word at a time), and all you need do is write a bit of java to call it
up. It would be like the simple driver.c, but in java, and with the
changes for non-alphabetic characters already mentioned --- martin
