Prior to 4.0 there was a problem with some dependencies not being in maven - there were in local lib directory instead. Those dependencies were removed for 4.0 and there are no "system" dependencies in 4.0
I haven't tested it yet, but if you are using the fast dictionary lookup, setting up a maven project that will use cTAKES as an external dependency should work for 4.0.0 rc2. For rc2, I noticed some poms for the original dictionary lookup had not been updated yet, and the original dictionary won't run using maven dependencies for rc2 because the resources it points to are using hsqldb 1.8. This morning I made a change to some POMs that will be needed for using the original dictionary lookup. And those resources need to be pushed to maven central. The system dependencies needed prior to 4.0 are <dependency> <groupId>org.mitre.medfacts</groupId> <artifactId>medfacts-i2b2</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath> ${project.basedir}/lib/med-facts-i2b2-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar </systemPath> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.mitre.medfacts</groupId> <artifactId>medfacts-zoner</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/med-facts-zoner-1.1.jar</systemPath> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.mitre.jcarafe.core</groupId> <artifactId>jcarafe.core</artifactId> <version>2.9.1</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath> ${project.basedir}/lib/jcarafe-core_2.9.1-0.9.8.3.RC4.jar </systemPath> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.mitre.jcarafe.ext</groupId> <artifactId>jcarafe.ext</artifactId> <version>2.9.1</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath> ${project.basedir}/lib/jcarafe-ext_2.9.1-0.9.8.3.RC4.jar </systemPath> </dependency> That was taken from: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ctakes/tags/ctakes-3.2.2-rc2/ctakes-assertion/pom.xml Hope this helps, James On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 10:48 AM, Dligach, Dmitriy <ddlig...@luc.edu> wrote: > Hello, > > Has anybody tried to run a cTAKES pipeline without having a local cTAKES > installation?
