I hope someone can help point me in the right direction. I have been stuck on this for more than a day.
I am using eclipse and performed all of the appropriate initial setup for eclipse per the UIMA site. I am using UIMA 2.3.1. I am able to use the CAS visual debugger to run the examples under UIMA_HOME\examples\descriptors\tutorial I followed the instructions here: http://uima.apache.org/doc-uima-annotator.html and have been able to successfully develop my first annotator as its own eclipse project. This runs fine. I am unable to get any of the sandbox projects (or any other 3rd party publicly available UIMA annotators) to run. I start by either checking out the whole sandbox project, or just the specific project I want (and the parent) from: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/sandbox/tags/uima-addons-2.3.1-rc1 or http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/sandbox/trunk I add maven dependency management to the projects (otherwise they end up in the package main.java.org.apache...) I go to properties > build path > libraries and add uima_home/lib/* I start CAS visual debugger in eclipse (same result as if I start it directly from uima_home though) When I try to LoadAE for any of the annotators I get a message: "4/28/11 1:38:38 PM - 10: org.apache.uima.tools.cvd.MainFrame.handleException(527): SEVERE: Annotator class "org.apache.uima.annotator.WhitespaceTokenizer" was not found. (Descriptor: file:/C:/dev/WhitespaceTokenizer/desc/WhitespaceTokenizer.xml) org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException: Annotator class "org.apache.uima.annotator.WhitespaceTokenizer" was not found. (Descriptor: file:/C:/dev/WhitespaceTokenizer/desc/WhitespaceTokenizer.xml)" I've tried this for WhitespaceTokenizer, Regex, Snowball, and a few others, all to the same effect. I found 1 post that said there was some special setup that was required for the sandbox projects, but it just directed to http://uima.apache.org/svn.html but i dont see anything there that seems special to this situation. I apologize for such a long post, but I'm stuck and wanted to supply everything I thought someone might need. Thanks Britt
