Hi Sean, Thanks for the pointers.

It works, but only if I run ‘mvn clean compile’ in ctakes trunk first (which deposits a bunch of jars into my .m2 directory). If I remove .m2 and try to build an empty directory with you pom.xml file, I get an error (pasted below). Is it possible it build fine on your end because there’s already ctakes-related stuff in your .m2? [INFO] Scanning for projects...
