JSplitter provides a replacement for the word Splitter that ZCatalog uses, allowing ZCatalog to do full text search of Japanese. JSplitter uses the freely available ChaSen library to do morphological analysis on Japanese text, which informs the breaking of the text into words (Japanese words are not normally delimited by spaces).

This product is based on the original JSplitter product. Modifications have been made to the original product to update for usage with Zope 2.4.1 and to replace the python-based KConv module with the perl-based JCode.pm module.
