Description

Many thanks to Thomas W Loehfelm for reporting the problem and a fix:

I received an error message when trying to runCVD due to a missing dependency version in the clinical pipeline pom.xml file

• Error message:
  "The project org.apache.ctakes:ctakes-clinical-pipeline:4.0.1-SNAPSHOT (<my ctakes dir>) has 1 error 'build.plugins.plugin[org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin].dependencies.dependency.version' for gov.nih.nlm.nls.lvg:lvgdist:jar is missing. @ org.apache.ctakes:ctakes-clinical-pipeline:[unknown-version], <my ctakes dir>/ctakes-clinical-pipeline/pom.xml, line 174, column 20
• Fix:
  Add "<version>2016.0</version>" for that dependency in pom.xml (line 177)

It seems that lvgdist is actually unnecessary for CPE and CVD, I my tests removing the dependency had no ill effects. From James Masanz:

Looks like it's a left over from when we switched from using a local copy of LVG jar in a local lib directory to using a maven dependency several years ago.

It seems that the fix is actually to remove the dependency.
