To my mind, it's totally a matter of taste. And I like
this better ;-) My main reason would be that it provides
a central trunk (which is what most everybody needs most
of the time). You can just check out everything with
svn co http://..../trunk opennlp, cd into opennlp and
build. You don't have to go to 3 different places to
get maxent, the toolkit and the UIMA wrappers.
It used to be that all three projects had to be checked
out separately which I always found a little annoying.
Also do not understand why we should not release
all three together, users which just want
maxent have the option to either just use maven (which some do)
or copy over the maxent jar file from the OpenNLP distributable.
Having room for additional things like a corpus project could be nice,
because people who are interested in the source code might not
want to check out the corpus (if we ever get it created).
