    public final class GermanAnalyzer

extends StopwordAnalyzerBase

`Analyzer` for German language.

Supports an external list of stopwords (words that will not be indexed at all) and an external list of exclusions (word that will not be stemmed, but indexed). A default set of stopwords is used unless an alternative list is specified, but the exclusion list is empty by default.

You must specify the required `Version` compatibility when creating GermanAnalyzer:

- As of 3.6, GermanLightStemFilter is used for less aggressive stemming.
- As of 3.1, Snowball stemming is done with SnowballFilter, and Snowball stopwords are used by default.
- As of 2.9, StopFilter preserves position increments

NOTE: This class uses the same `Version` dependent settings as `StandardAnalyzer`.
