Hi all, In line with Jeff and Richard, I agree to transfer it (back) over to our opennlp-sandbox. The component in question does not really have great value, it seems.
It shall exist in the sandbox for those people that require an example on how to build a web service on top of opennlp-tools. Maybe, someone comes along and puts some time and effort into the code with tests and better docs.
