I am using Java Inflector library to get English words plurals. It is working fine, but i wanted to ask:

Is there a similar library for German language ?

I have seen the JInflector project but it seems it has no progress.

It's not software but here's a big XML file with inflected forms of German words under a free license: http://www.danielnaber.de/morphologie/ (Disclaimer: this is a link to my personal homepage). You could use that to create an inflector. For background information about how to create such a large word list without manually adding all forms, see the papers on Morphy.

Inflection works is much more difficult in German than in English. So I think the only way is a huge look-up-table.

Couldn't you work with something like Stuhl -> Stuhl (Pl.) what means Plural?
