Hi Reto, Have you seen the DataFileProvider tab in the OSGI console? This one could be improved to allow users to manually trigger a download for resources that do have the "Download-Location" key, We could also add an option to automatically download resources from specific servers.
With that feature in place the data bundles would no longer require to include the data files (as Stanbol could download those at runtime). However we would still need some of the data files for unit testing (e.g. the english OpenNLP models and also the default DBpedia dataset are used by several unit tests). best Rupert On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 6:01 PM, Reto Bachmann-Gmür <[email protected]> wrote: > I run once again in a (certainly temporary) build-download exception. > > (Failed to copy > https://github.com/utcompling/OpenNLP-Models/raw/58ef0c60031403e66e47ae35edaf58d3478b67af/models/es/opennlp-es-maxent-pos-es.bin) > > > I think we should discus on ways to making our build so that it runs > offline (given that the necessary maven dependencies are in the local repo). > > - For not too big dependencies (like the one failing here) they could go to > maven central. > - Bigger data-files (not sure how big) they should be downloaded at > runtime.
