Hi, I want to customize openNLP to write my own context generator and train it with the data I have in order to find the entities. The entities I want to extract are a bit different from generic person, location, organization etc. that are provided out of the box in openNLP.
I am new to openNLP and also a novice with java. So far I have done "mvn install" as mentioned in the instructions on the website and it does run some tests for namefinder and other modules and passes fine. To start with the code, I wanted to run it for a few lines with existing models and set breakpoints in eclipse so I can see the stack and get familiar with the code. But I am not sure how to run it for this purpose. I have done a similar exercise for a c# port of openNLP called sharpNLP that is available on codeplex and was able to see the basic flow and feature creation. But this is an old port from 2006/2007 and openNLP has moved on quite far from there. Any documentation or general pointers that can steer me in the right direction? Thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Mandar
