a bit of googling and I managed to locate the thread from November! Here
it is:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/opennlp-users/201211.mbox/%[email protected]%3E
I reported it and fixed it back then, but I can't remember whether I
communicated my fix with you guys... I'll investigate my private fork
and try to spot the differences and I'll let you know what happens...I
think it was a minor bug...there was a '-1' somewhere if I'm not mistaken...

Ok , sorry I rushed earlier...Now I remember what happened 8-9 months
ago...It's not the Span.spansToStrings () that has the problem but the
RegexNameFinder instead! Calling the .find method of the
RegexNameFinder returns spans of the form I mentioned earlier (#<Span
[3..3)>)...I do remember fixing this but I 'm not sure I submitted a
patch...can anyone shed some light or should I go back to diff my
sources?

I forgot to mention that I'm referring to the 1.5.2-incubating
version available on maven. Presumably this been fixed in trunk?

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty sure we had this discussion last year and that it was
fixed! Basically, whenever any NameFinder recognises a single word
token the resulting span is something like this:
(#<Span [3..3)> #<Span [6..6)>)
while I think it should have been (#<Span [3..4)> #<Span [6..7)>).
As a result the following exception is thrown :
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException String index out of range: -1
java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.substring
(AbstractStringBuilder.java:872)
I am 99% positive that we've fixed this in the past...at least my
private openNLP build behaves as expected. Just in case I'm doing
something wrong here are my steps:
- create a RegexNameFinder passing the following regexes in an
array: "\d+", "\w+ive?"
-call find on it passing the following text in an array
["azestapine" "treatment" "is" "10" "times" "more" "effective" "."]
-I get back the aformentioned spans (#<Span [3..3)> #<Span [6..6)>)
-trying to convert them to string-array (via Span/spansToStrings)
doesn't work!
any ideas? This is quite important isn't it?
Jim
