Hi All,
I am Eranga. I am a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate of
University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
I am interested in the area of NLP and keen to contribute to Apache
openNLP. I am having an issue with installing
open NLP with maven.
When I try to run command: mvn3 install inside openNLP-trunk directory, it
fires an error
saying "The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is
no POM in this directory"
But i was able to install individual modules since they had this .pom file.
Also I want to know is there a specific way to create the development
environment for openNLP with eclips.
Thanks!

You should consider managing dependencies in Eclipse using the m2e plugin.
It makes things easier: http://eclipse.org/m2e

Also to write patches you should follow our code conventions. Please refer
to http://opennlp.apache.org/code-conventions.html, where you can find
the code formatter file for Eclipse.

You need to go into 'trunl/opennlp' folder and there you will find the 
pom you need...

I am not sure what you mean exactly but all you need to do is load the 
project source into eclipse, manage dependencies and then you can start 
working...


Hope that helps....

you should do this in <checkout directory>/opennlp/ where the
<checkout directory> is the directory where you've checked out the
code.
