TikaAnnotator hard to build
---------------------------
Key: UIMA-1634
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1634
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Sandbox-TikaAnnotator
Reporter: Aaron Kaplan
Priority: Minor
It's hard for an outsider to figure out how to check out and build
TikaAnnotator. It turns out that in addition to the TikaAnnotator directory
you need to check out the entire sandbox tree, or at least SandboxDistr; and
you also have to have checked out the uimaj tree; and the two need to be
siblings in your filesystem, even thought they're *not* siblings in the
subversion repository. Or something like that--I eventually gave up and just
wrote my own ant build.
The problem was discussed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10570.html
At the end of the thread it was suggested that instructions be posted on the
web site, but this doesn't seem to have happened (at least not where I looked,
which is here: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/sandbox.html ). I second the
suggestion. Even better would be to make the process easier, though I have no
particular suggestions about how to do that.
It looks like this might be an issue for all the sandbox annotators.
TikaAnnotator just happens to be the one I tried.
