Wikipedia (thanks, Google!) has an article on the subject,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming
which provides a good jumping-off point for both the theory and a few 
candidate applications.
http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~eibe/stemmers/index.html
http://www.tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/index.html
  ==> http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/java.txt
   (influenced by Brian Goetz, whose suggestions were incorporated)
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/research/stemming/index.htm
etc.

Warning: the Java code at the Porter site is mildly non-conformant with Java 
coding conventionss, and won't like multi-char code points.  The former won't 
affect its utility, and the latter is a relatively minor restriction that you 
could overcome yourself if need be.
