>             Project: OpenNLP
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Machine Learning
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.4

> FeatureGeneratorUtil.tokenFeature() always recognizes Japanese words as "lc" (lower case). It looks a bug to me because they're not lower case letters, but other than that, it seems that FeatureGeneratorUtil.tokenFeature() takes care only Europe/American languages.
> For example, in Japanese NER problem, typical token classes are as follows:
> - DIGIT
> - HIRA : あ, い, う, え, お etc.
> - KATA : ア, イ, ウ, エ, オ etc.
> - ALPHA : we don't need to distinguish lower/upper case
> - OTHER
> I think it's possible that we get FeatureGeneratorUtil.tokenFeature() to have additional token classes I mentioned above, but later on, someone who comes from Asia and may claim similar thing.
> I'd like to make FeatureGeneratorUtil plugable, but I don't have any idea now.
