Major Description
Lucene's analysis package, including the definitions of Attribute, TokenStream, etc. are quite useful outside of Lucene (for instance, Mahout uses them) for text processing. I'd like to move the definitions, or at least their packaging, to a separate JAR file so that one can consume them w/o needing Lucene core. My draft idea is to have a definition area that Lucene core is dependent on and the rest of the analysis package can then be dependent on the definition area. (I'm open to other ideas as well)
