WB created OPENNLP-605:
--------------------------

             Summary: Change GeneratorFactory class to allow registering custom feature generators
                 Key: OPENNLP-605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-605
             Project: OpenNLP
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Name Finder
    Affects Versions: tools-1.5.3
            Reporter: WB


I am trying to setup the OpenNLP NameFinder in a project with an XML feature generator descriptor and some non-standard features. The XML descriptor has support for custom feature generators:

<generators>
  <cache>
    <generators>
      ...
      <custom class="com.example.MyFeatureGenerator"/>
   </cache>
</generators>

However, it is not possible to pass parameters to the custom feature generator, and registering new feature generators is currently not possible due to access restrictions in the opennlp.tools.util.featuregen.GeneratorFactory class.
