class DictionaryBasedBreakIteratorTables;
/**
* A subclass of RuleBasedBreakIterator that adds the ability to use a dictionary
* to further subdivide ranges of text beyond what is possible using just the
* state-table-based algorithm. This is necessary, for example, to handle
* word and line breaking in Thai, which doesn't use spaces between words. The
* state-table-based algorithm used by RuleBasedBreakIterator is used to divide
* up text as far as possible, and then contiguous ranges of letters are
* repeatedly compared against a list of known words (i.e., the dictionary)
* to divide them up into words.
*
* <p>Applications do not normally need to include this header.</p>
*
* <p>This class will probably be deprecated in a future release of ICU, and replaced
* with a more flexible and capable dictionary based break iterator. This change
* should be invisible to applications, because creation and use of instances of
* DictionaryBasedBreakIterator is through the factories and abstract
* API on class BreakIterator, which will remain stable.</p>
*
* <p>This class is not intended to be subclassed.</p>
*
*
* DictionaryBasedBreakIterator uses the same rule language as RuleBasedBreakIterator,
* but adds one more special substitution name: &lt;dictionary&gt;. This substitution
* name is used to identify characters in words in the dictionary. The idea is that
* if the iterator passes over a chunk of text that includes two or more characters
* in a row that are included in &lt;dictionary&gt;, it goes back through that range and
* derives additional break positions (if possible) using the dictionary.
*
* DictionaryBasedBreakIterator is also constructed with the filename of a dictionary
* file. It follows a prescribed search path to locate the dictionary (right now,
* it looks for it in /com/ibm/text/resources in each directory in the classpath,
* and won't find it in JAR files, but this location is likely to change). The
* dictionary file is in a serialized binary format. We have a very primitive (and
* slow) BuildDictionaryFile utility for creating dictionary files, but aren't
* currently making it public. Contact us for help.
* <p>
* <b> NOTE </b> The DictionaryBasedIterator class is still under development. The
* APIs are not in stable condition yet.
