The best solution would be to put it in a server framework. I was not able
to get the EpsilonTeam server to work, but there's another tiny server
version written in Scala which you can try. I ended up doing one using the
Spark REST framework. You can build a non server / non UI version which
does run at the command line by coding it up (in Java) to create the
pipeline or using a piper, then create a jCas which you use/reset/reuse
The core of it would be a loop like this
jcas.setDocumentText(note.getFree_text());
_aae.process(jcas);
