Description

The OpenNLP namefind package changed somewhat for 1.4.x. The OpenNLP wrapper examples that are shipped with UIMA seem to still be written for compatibility with OpenNLP 1.3.x. As a result, the uimaj-examples opennlp_wrappers examples do not compile against OpenNLP 1.4.x.

The most difficult to resolve problems are in the class org.apache.uima.examples.opennlp.annotator.NEDetector . This class will need to be re-written inorder to use the namefind interfaces in OpenNLP1.4.x. In particular, the following method no longer exists in OpenNLP:

opennlp.tools.lang.english.NameFinder.find(ArrayList, Map) .

Of course, since the method no longer exists, compilation fails.
