What is this?

This is a repackaging of a version of the snowball-stemmer found at http://snowball.tartarus.org/ so that it's available on Maven Central.

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.rholder</groupId>
  <artifactId>snowball-stemmer</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.0.581.1</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

compile "com.github.rholder:snowball-stemmer:1.3.0.581.1"

Versioning

In the absence of tags, branches, or releases in the original project SVN repository to call out a version, let's go with what PyStemmer is currently using and tack on the SVN revision number at the end followed by my patch revision number (to fix anything weird that I introduce). For the initial version, we'll use 1.3.0.581.1.
