Michael, It is one of the things we are working on. The problem is most if not all the models are currently trained on copyrighted material that restricts the usage of the resulting trained data to research purposes ONLY. We currently host the models on another site; due to this limitation and the licensing conflict that would result if we tried to host on Apache.
You are more than welcome to help, if you choose. James On 6/8/2012 6:55 PM, Michael Schmitz wrote: > Hi, is there any interest in hosting the stock OpenNLP models in Maven > Central?
