Newbie here. I downloaded cTakes source through maven according to these instructions<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+3.1+Developer+Install+Guide>. I am using Eclipse Standard 4.3.2 (Kepler). I have all (stated) prerequisites installed. I get about 70 errors, many of which are like...
Archive for required library: 'C:/Users/<my username>/.m2/repository/org/apache/lucene/lucene-core/4.0.0/lucene-core-4.0.0.jar' in project 'ctakes-dependency-parser' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file ctakes-dependency-parser ... Archive for required library: 'C:/Users/<my username>/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring-context/3.1.0.RELEASE/spring-context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar' in project 'ctakes-assertion-res' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file ctakes-assertion-res ... Execution default of goal org.cleartk:jcasgen-maven-plugin:0.9.3:generate failed: A required class was missing while executing org.cleartk:jcasgen-maven-plugin:0.9.3:generate: org/apache/uima/tools/jcasgen/IError ... I assume that means I need to have Lucene and the Spring Framework installed. Shouldn't Maven have grabbed these automatically from Maven Central? What is the prescribed way of installing them? I assume it is not to download them directly from a browser, then Properties-->Java Build Path. I tried right clicking on one of the folders-->Maven-->Add Dependency, and added... Group Id: org.apache.lucene Artifact Id: lucene-core Group Id: org.springframework Artifact Id: spring-core But that didn't help. One clarification, I am just trying to use cTakes in an application. I am not currently trying to contribute to cTakes (in which case, should I just be adding a Maven dependency to cTakes from my own project?). Newbie. Lost. Help. Thanks.
