When we change the model loading API we will also break backward
compatibility of
the old OpenNLP Tools APIs, these APIs are deprecated for quite some
time now,
so it might be a good idea to remove them with the next release. Then we
will be able
to replace maxent without breaking the OpenNLP Tools API.
Are there any special rules at Apache regarding the removal of
deprecated API ?

anything like that should go in before. Feel free to make progress on

for now, and I'll get to coding later this month, probably.
I think we really should take some time to create a proposal which
describes
the new API and other changes, before you just start coding and changing
everything.
