I have created a Ruta script and now I want it to use as a UIMA AE. Thanks to the Maven plugin, I created the AE descriptor which I could get to work easily. I have packaged the whole component into a single JAR which I then use via the Maven dependency mechanism. This works fine until I try to use a word list. It seems that while script and descriptor files can be loaded from a classpath location, this does not work for resources.
Right now I have the impression that I would have to deliver not only file paths but even absolute file paths as the JavaDocs suggest. Would it be possible to change this and allow a classpath lookup like for the script file? I would really like to just package everything into a JAR and avoid a non-portable installation due to absolute paths. Are there other possibilities to achieve portability when using word lists? Thanks, Erik
