Thanks for the tip Markus. We are using this filter to decompound German words. Update: I am on the path to victory. The words.fst file is actually built by the plugin, however there is a basic input&output file format mismatch (at the byte level) that doesn't occur with 4.0. As soon as you try to use lucene core 4.1 with this particular plugin, it breaks with the same error I was getting. The FST code in lucene says clearly that there is no guaranteed backward compatibility, so there you have it. I'm probably going to need to incorporate some older code from lucene and/or figure out how to make the plugin work with the new lucene code.

Hello Chris - i don't know that token filter you mention but i would like to recommend Lucene's HyphenationCompoundWordTokenFilter. It works reasonably well if you provide the hyphenation rules and a dictionary. It has some flaws such as decompounding to irrelevant subwords, overlapping subwords or to subwords that do not form the whole compound word (minus genitives), but these can be fixed.
