I had a quick look at your class. Wouldn't it be better write a
TokenNameFinder which
acts like a proxy to a set of name finders and aggregates/aligns the
result of them?
You can then pass an instance of this new name finder to the existing
evaluator.
Yes, i can also do that but that sounds even more like a hack!
Why do you think its a hack? Everyone who runs multiple name finders needs
to merge the results somehow in the end. Its a very common problem
we have not yet solved in OpenNLP.
And most people detect multiple entity types, e.g person and
organization names.
