Re: ctakes gui

[Pei Chen]

Hi Ben,
I think the ctakes-gui in the sandbox area is really outdated and
hasn't been maintained in a long time (hence in sandbox).
But there was a old thread [1] that you may find useful.

RE: cTAKES developer query

[Finan, Sean]

Hi Abhilash,

The fastest way to dive into ctakes development might be to look at 
org.apache.ctakes.clinicalpipeline.ClinicalPipelineFactory.java
It has a few methods that can build slightly different pipelines and a main(..) 
that will run some fake text through a pipeline.

After that you can look at 
org.apache.ctakes.core.cc.property.plaintext.PropertyTextWriter.java to see 
examples on how to extract information from the cas.

To see an example of a new annotator module, check out the ctakes sandbox and 
look at ctakes-allergy.  It is really simple - one annotator class and another 
pipeline runner class.  But it has all of the plumbing required to insert it 
into ctakes proper.

Subject: cTAKES developer query

Hi,
   I installed cTAKES 3.2 plugin for eclipse. I have followed the developer 
installation guide from the website. But have no idea how to start developing 
and run the custom annotators. Is there any developers guide/tutorial, to start 
learning to develop the cTAKES or understand its working ?

Thanks,
Abhilash K
