`void` `start(String originalText, org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream tokenStream)` Initializes the Fragmenter.

Method Detail

### start

    void start(String originalText,
               org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream tokenStream)

  Initializes the Fragmenter. You can grab references to the Attributes you are interested in from tokenStream and then access the values in `isNewFragment()`.

  Parameters:
    `originalText` - the original source text
    `tokenStream` - the `TokenStream` to be fragmented

### isNewFragment

    boolean isNewFragment()

  Test to see if this token from the stream should be held in a new TextFragment. Every time this is called, the TokenStream passed to start(String, TokenStream) will have been incremented.
