We spent some time in the past to make it easier for users to launch the CVD/CPE. But based on the questions/discussions, I think we are passed this stage and a very common use case would be for developers to use cTAKES as a lib, extend a class or two and then, embed it into their existing app.
I am proposing a ctakes-web-demo for the sandbox, A simple webapp- war/maven pom.xml that uses the ctakes as a dependency. Have a simple servlet that wires up a pipeline (uimaFIT style), and then dump the CAS as html table. We could even host it on: https://demo-ctakes.apache.org/ It will probably only be a few lines of code, but it may be a good starting point for developers who are more interested in using it as a lib and not necessarily modifying ctakes code. What do folks think? --Pei
