Does OpenNLP have a stemmer?

I'm working on a project and I'm using some features from OpenNLP. One feature I need is stemmer. I googled a bit and found that supposedly it has a Porter stemmer in a opennlp.tools.stemmer package, however the only thing my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA 13.1) finds is Stemmer interface.

I'm using OpenNLP 1.5.3. Am I looking in a wrong place or OpenNLP doesn't have a stemmer implementation?

As of version 1.6.0, class PorterStemmer is public and available for use. Enjoy!

The PorterStemmer in Open NLP is private. You can't use it from outside Open NLP. Worst decision ever.

There does seem to be an implementation. See http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.opennlp/opennlp-tools/1.5.3/opennlp/tools/stemmer/Stemmer.java#Stemmer

I hope it proves to be usable. If not, I'll probably use a service like: https://www.enclout.com/api/stemmer/show
