Description

While building "opennlp-distr" I get error "group id is too big" on MacOS.

It can be fixed by using "posix" mode instead of "gnu" on -
https://github.com/apache/opennlp/blob/master/opennlp-distr/pom.xml#L75

Any specific reason to use "gnu"? I was reading online and as per people comments "posix" works on both windows and unix. I can raise a PR if it can be changed to posix.

```
