Katrin Tomanek commented on OPENNLP-429:
----------------------------------------

when I use the trainer tool with this code

POSTaggerTrainerTool trainerTool = new POSTaggerTrainerTool();
trainerTool.run("opennlp",args);


I get the following NullPointerException

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

--> this is presumably because I didn't explicitly set a factory; in this case, 
either the trainer tool needs to be changed (factory as an obligatory 
parameter) or you need to use a default factory if none is given

>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Command Line Interface, POS Tagger
>    Affects Versions: tools-1.5.3-incubating
>            Reporter: William Colen
>            Assignee: William Colen
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: tools-1.5.3-incubating
>
>
> Should provide a mechanism to customize the POS Tagger using a factory. The 
> component should get the following objects from the factory:
> - Context Generator
> - Sequence Validator
> - POS Dictionary implementation
> One issue to solve is how to initialize the objects. For example, the 
> Sequence Validator might be initialized using a POS Dictionary.
