Thanks Bruce, that’s probably my problem. I’m referencing the cTAKES 
dependencies in my pom and spring boot makes 1 big fat jar file. Is there some 
setting I can override somewhere on cTAKES to tell it to go look in an external 
folder for the dictionary? I tried not bundling cTAKES and attempting to 
reference my cTAKES installation but I kept getting error messages from other 
cTAKES components about “URI is not hierarchical”.
