It seems I got what they mean. "Adjective" is not to be understood

modifiers to some noun. And in this sense NNPs often modify some noun too.
I would follow the "Apache Xerces XML library" example they've given there:
The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the
processing of natural language text.
Here "The Apache OpenNLP library" includes "OpenNLP" as a modifier to
library, that is, "OpenNLP" functions as an adjective.
Sounds good, +1.
