You create only one instance of the analyzer but I think one instance of the 
filter is created for each document. You could keep a reference to the one 
analyzer you create and call finalizeFilters() on it after each call to
indexWriter.addDocument().

Or, better yet, you could try to use the FinalizerWrapper class just posted 
by Anurag, it looks very promising in making this finalize() business easier 
to use.
