java.lang.Object
com.googlecode.concurrenttrees.solver.LCSubstringSolver

Finds the longest common substring in a collection of documents. See Longest common substring problem.

This class internally extends ConcurrentRadixTree and combines it with elements from ConcurrentSuffixTree, but implements its own traversal algorithm.
