The classes that you need to implement: StopWordSet.java, TextFileReaderWriter.java; here's the stopword file.

The full set of Java classes is available in indexing.jar. Note: Unzip it with "jar xvf indexing.jar"; it will create a new directory, IOAssign, containing all the files. Pay attention to Indexer.java, which contains the main method, and which drives the testing.

Here are my solutions: GMStopWordSet.java and GMReaderWriter.java.
