Hi I was looking if/how cTAKES distributes resources via Maven Central. I found some, but I am actually quite a bit confused now.
There are the <component>-res artifacts [1], like ctakes-pos-tagger-res. These have a JAR and a sources-JAR. The JAR is practically empty, but the sources-JAR appears to contain the actual resources. Is there a special reason for this? Additionally, there is the ctakes-resources-distribution which is distributed as a "bin.zip" via Maven Central. It appears to contain UMLS data. Has it been replaced by ctakes-resources-umls2011ab in 3.1.1? The ctakes-resources-umls2011ab JAR actually contains data, contrary to the <component>-res JARs mentioned above. Why is there data in this JAR, but not in the <component>-res JARs? /me scratching head… Please enlighten me :) Cheers, -- Richard [1] http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cctakes%20res
