That is very cool! Since we're talking Groovy, I'd just like make a plug for Gradle, a fantastic build/deployment/dependency management tool that is in many ways much nicer to work with than Maven, though it plays nicely with Maven (for example, it can use Maven repositories). Gradle is also proven technology: it's the build tool for the Android operating system. ________________________________________ From: Chen, Pei [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: cTAKES Groovy...
Tim had a good end user use case: I just want to use the ctakes constituency parser and output the tree text to console. So I was inspired by Richard example of groovy...

No longer requires the user to have any knowledge of UIMA, cTAKES, etc. Sample: $ parser.groovy input Reading from directory: input patient took 50mg of aspirin for pain in knee. begin:0 end:48 Pretty cool, 'eh... --Pei
