Hi Sean, I'm building the jar within IntelliJ IDEA. Project Structure>Artifacts>New artifact>Jar>From modules with dependencies... I've made one of my pipeline classes the main class, am extracting to the target JAR, and put the manifest file in my resources directory.
Here's what my pipeline looks like, to give you a sense of my goals: CollectionReaderDescription collectionReader = CollectionReaderFactory.createReaderDescriptionFromPath("C:/Users/eng148/Documents/GitHub/cTAKESPipelines/src/resources/desc/FilesInDirectoryCollectionReader.xml", ConfigParameterConstants.PARAM_INPUTDIR, inputDir); AggregateBuilder aggregateBuilder = new AggregateBuilder(); aggregateBuilder.add(SimpleSegmentAnnotator.createAnnotatorDescription()); aggregateBuilder.add(SentenceDetector.createAnnotatorDescription()); aggregateBuilder.add(TokenizerAnnotatorPTB.createAnnotatorDescription()); // aggregateBuilder.add(LvgAnnotator.createAnnotatorDescription()); //URI not hierarchical error aggregateBuilder.add(ContextDependentTokenizerAnnotator.createAnnotatorDescription()); aggregateBuilder.add(POSTagger.createAnnotatorDescription()); aggregateBuilder.add(Chunker.createAnnotatorDescription("C:/Users/eng148/Documents/GitHub/cTAKESPipelines/src/resources/model/chunker-model.zip")); aggregateBuilder.add(ChunkAdjuster.createAnnotatorDescription(new String[] {"NP", "NP"}, 1)); aggregateBuilder.add(ChunkAdjuster.createAnnotatorDescription(new String[] {"NP", "PP", "NP"}, 2)); aggregateBuilder.add(DefaultJCasTermAnnotator.createAnnotatorDescription("C:/Users/eng148/Documents/GitHub/cTAKESPipelines/src/resources/desc/BsvDictionaryAD.xml")); aggregateBuilder.add(ClearNLPDependencyParserAE.createAnnotatorDescription()); aggregateBuilder.add(AnalysisEngineFactory.createEngineDescription(ContextAnnotator.class)); // negation aggregateBuilder.add(AnalysisEngineFactory.createEngineDescription(ContextAnnotator.class, // status ContextAnnotator.MAX_LEFT_SCOPE_SIZE_PARAM, 10, ContextAnnotator.MAX_RIGHT_SCOPE_SIZE_PARAM, 10, "ContextAnalyzerClass", "org.apache.ctakes.necontexts.status.StatusContextAnalyzer", "ContextHitConsumerClass", "org.apache.ctakes.necontexts.status.StatusContextHitConsumer")); aggregateBuilder.add(SubjectCleartkAnalysisEngine.createAnnotatorDescription()); I'm using gradle, with the following dependencies included: compile 'org.apache.ctakes:ctakes-type-system:4.0.0' compile 'org.apache.ctakes:ctakes-clinical-pipeline:4.0.0' compile 'org.apache.ctakes:ctakes-core:4.0.0' compile 'org.apache.ctakes:ctakes:4.0.0' For the pipeline I'm worried about making portable right now, I do not need relations, temporal information, or coreferences. But there are other pipelines within the project for doing location relation and temporal relation extraction. I'm still learning Java and how to use tools like gradle/maven, so it's definitely possible that I don't need all of those dependencies listed above. I was just erring on the side of getting it to work!

Also, what do you need from ctakes? If you do not need the higher functions for relations, temporal information, coreferences ... or the sideline items like smoking status, drug-ner, ytex (a big one) ... then you can probably create a jar that is about half that size just by getting rid of their libraries and dependencies.

The jar is indeed huge (1.14 GB). Open to any suggestions for the most efficient way to go about this!

It could be that jcasgen needs to be run. Just out of curiosity, how huge is your jar file? You may be able to decrease the size ... Sean -----Original Message----- From: Erin Gustafson [mailto:erin.gustaf...@northwestern.edu] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2017 11:16 AM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: Pipeline executable Hi all, I have a project that contains a series of classes to build cTAKES pipelines. I've been successfully running the pipelines myself within an IDE, but would like to be able to provide collaborators with an executable jar file to run our pipeline. So far, I've managed to build a jar that will start running the pipeline from the command line. It successfully initializes the annotators but throws an exception when processing begins: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException: Undefined type "org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textspan.Segment" in type priority list. (Descriptor: <unknown>) Any thoughts about how to resolve this error? Let me know if I can provide any more information.. Thanks, Erin
