Hi Piotr,
Let's continue this discussion at the correct list for DBpedia
Spotlight: dbp-spotlight-developers.
The codebase is mixed because we learned Scala while creating DBpedia
Spotlight. I personally regret not jumping straight into Scala, as the
system is not as smooth as it could because of that. We also accepted
contributions in Java, and that ended up in the codebase. In the future we
would like to move everything into Scala, but if your application is great,
we could live with you writing in Java.
Cheers,
Pablo
