If you use Solr, you can use a SynonymFilterFactory. Otherwise, Lucene In Action has an example of how to write a synonym filter if you want to do it in pure Lucene.

How do I convert the synonyms.dat file into lucene index for synonyms? The synonym.dat is simple text file having customs synonyms in it. All synonyms are comma separated and next set is followed in next line. – remo Jan 06 '11 at 15:58
