Description

While TextMarker can cope with loading its main script relative to the classpath, it can't load dictionaries from it. That feature is very useful in production enviroments.

Attached is a patch that enables that. It also tries to "bubble" up the exceptions in the low level classes a little bit more (currently TextMarker "eats" a lot of exceptions, that's something most probably to be addressed in UIMA #2567).

Of note: both MultiTreeWordList and TreeWordList will silently ignore their parameters (and load nothing) if it doesn't end in a "magic" extension (e.g., "txt" or "twl"). Shouldn't they throw an exception or at least log a warning? If so, that could be worth another bug report.
