Hi, I have this informal guide:
- Get the code from SVN trunk, as described here: http://incubator.apache.org/opennlp/source-code.html - You will need Maven 3.0.1 to compile the project, if you don't have it yet, please get it from http://maven.apache.org/download.html, the installation instructions are at the same page. - Compile the project. To do that go to the folder <project-root>/opennlp/ from command line and run the command "mvn install". It can take longer to execute the first build. - Now go to the folder <project-root>/opennlp-tools - Execute the command: mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory="lib" to copy the libraries to lib folder - Copy the file <project-root>/opennlp-tools/ target/opennlp-tools-1.5.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar to <project-root>/opennlp-tools - Now we are ready to execute: bin/opennlp Regards William On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 6:01 PM, Chaitanya Sharma <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi All! > > I am Chaitanya, newbie to the openNLP > I like natural language processing, and hope to make some code > contributions > to the openNLP project. > > I tried asking on the opennlp-users mailing-list, but didn't really get a > response; and I believe this is a better place to ask, So here's my > question; > To start with, it'll be great if anyone could guide me on how to go about > building the project; or maybe direct me to some document or an archive > mail > that explains it. > > Also, It'll be great if I could be suggested with a small jira-issue I > could > take up to begin getting familiar with opennlp project. > > > Thanks! > Chaitanya >
