That is because you OpenNLP classes are in multiple JARs on your classpath. Depending on the order in which the JARs are mentioned on the classpath, the one or the other version of these classes is preferred. How to fix this? a) make sure that you don't use fat JARs (cf. other mail I wrote). b) consider using a tool that manages your dependencies such as Maven, Gradle, or Ivy. I'd personally recommend Maven. It's a bit of another learning curve though. Cheers, -- Richard
