Hi Rob, LCS can still be useful for bioinformatics/genetics. So I'd say that's worth including. In Java, if I ever needed it, I would probably look for it at Biojava (which I just did and couldn't easily find it there).
As for the other string distances, I always look at this GitHub project: https://github.com/tdebatty/java-string-similarity And also Talend (I think Data Quality has some string distances). However, I think having the API design, and some string distances implemented could be enough for a 1.0. Then we can add more, and release more versions.
