Yes, that's possible. You need more things on your classpath - you can take a look at the classpath within runctakesCVD.bat
Or if you are open to using groovy, take a look at the scripts directory within ctakes-core -----Original Message----- From: Abraham Tom [mailto:a...@practicefusion.com] Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2014 10:55 AM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: Command line invocation I am not a core java developer, I am a Hadoop data guy We are experimenting with using cTakes and we have no Java developers in house I am trying to invoke ClinicalPipelineWithUmls on a server where I installed the developer cTakes. This invocation is done via the following command line java -verbose -cp "/opt/cTAKES-3.1.1/ctakes-clinical-pipeline/target/classes;/home/mapr/.m2/repository/org/cleartk/cleartk-util/0.9.2/cleartk-util-0.9.2.jar" org.apache.ctakes.clinicalpipeline.ClinicalPipelineWithUmls but I am getting a Class not found error I would like to invoke via command line so that I can wrap a shell script around it and automate the processing of various docs. This should be possible shouldn't it? Best regards, Abraham Tom
