Mathieu, It's not my Kstem. It was written by someone at Umass, Amherst. More info here: http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/cgi-bin/downloads/downloads.cgi
Someone else had already ported it to Lucene. I simply modified that wrapper to work with Solr. I'll open an issue for it so that it can (hopefully) be integrated into the project.

Porter stemmer is not only agressive, it is ugly, too. The generated code is too old, too few object centric and should be too slow. If your kstem compile with java 1.4, why don't you suggest it to lucene core? M.
