Description

Several classes in the opennlp.tools.ml package which inherit from AbstractModelWriter suffer from code duplication, e.g. PerceptronModelWriter, GISModelWriter, and NaiveBayesModelWriter

Aims:

• Code duplication should & can be cleared from that part of the code base.
• Moreover, some of the the related tests classes can be (a) simplified, (b) improved for reduced execution time and (c) better readability.
