Hi Abhilash, The fastest way to dive into ctakes development might be to look at org.apache.ctakes.clinicalpipeline.ClinicalPipelineFactory.java It has a few methods that can build slightly different pipelines and a main(..) that will run some fake text through a pipeline.
After that you can look at org.apache.ctakes.core.cc.property.plaintext.PropertyTextWriter.java to see examples on how to extract information from the cas. To see an example of a new annotator module, check out the ctakes sandbox and look at ctakes-allergy. It is really simple - one annotator class and another pipeline runner class. But it has all of the plumbing required to insert it into ctakes proper.

I have followed the developer installation guide from the website. But have no idea how to start developing and run the custom annotators. Is there any developers guide/tutorial, to start learning to develop the cTAKES or understand its working ? Thanks, Abhilash K
