Go through the error that you got, and look for a message like: Failed to initilize. Invalid UMLS License
and Error: Invalid UMLS License. A UMLS License is required to use the UMLS dictionary lookup. Error: You may request one at: https://uts.nlm.nih.gov/license.html Please verify your UMLS license settings in the DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml configuration. If you see that message, you see a possible solution. If you have a umls username and password, make sure that they are set correctly for the cTakes run. If you don't see that message, check resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/umls2011ab/umls and see if it contains a rather large .data file. If not, then go through the process detailed at http://ctakes.apache.org/downloads.cgi in the section entitled "Resources". If you have the .data file, then let us know and we'll try to push forward.

Hello everyone, I am a new user of cTakes and I would like to integrate it in my code to run it programmatically. I followed the example in the cTakes package but I have an error message regarding the descriptor: [...] 03 Jan 2015 13:39:33 INFO UmlsDictionaryLookupAnnotator - Using ctakes.umlsaddr: https://uts-ws.nlm.nih.gov/restful/isValidUMLSUser: maitemeseure Exception in thread "main" org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException: Initialization of annotator class "org.apache.ctakes.dictionary.lookup.ae.UmlsDictionaryLookupAnnotator" failed. (Descriptor: <unknown>) Do you know how I can fix that?? My goal is to get in output the same XML file than the CPE. Thanks a lot for your time. Best regards, Maite Meseure
