I've been using ctakes for several years, coding my own pipelines and configuring XML files manually, but decided to try using the piper system for fun. However, hasn't been that easy, and just trying from the documentation with the Creator GUI, a lot of permutations don't seem to work - at least without knowing each component's idiosyncracies. I was wondering if there was some unofficial documentation to supplement what is out there on your site.
(Unfortunately I have changed emails to change of work, so I don't have the archive of previous suggestions where this may have already been covered) 1. Using the Piper CreaterGUI What does it mean when I include a component, for instance XMIWriter2 and on validation shows up in red even though it has no unfulfilled mandatory parameters? 2 If I use one of the example piper files from the distribution, it runs. But I notice there they contain no output components. But if I "add" any output XMI output method, it fails with an exception like this: *MESSAGE LOCALIZATION FAILED: Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key Not AnalysisComponent org.apache.ctakes.core.cc.CasConsumer.* (many other components have similar error messages when I add them) Only one of the pretty print methods works with "add". NB the writeXmis shortcut works. 3. Has the JsonCasSerializer been packaged for the Piper?
