Hi John, It shouldn't be excluded from ctakes-core, but if you are looking at the binary distributable or maven central artifact for ctakes 4.0.0.1 then it will definitely be absent as it didn't exist in that version. It is only in the trunk version of ctakes currently under development. You can use the trunk version in your maven project.
In your pom: ... <properties> <ctakes.version>4.0.1-SNAPSHOT</ctakes.version> ... <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.ctakes</groupId> <artifactId>ctakes-core</artifactId> <version>${ctakes.version}</version> ... And you might need: <repositories> <repository> <id>apache.snapshots</id> <name>Apache Development Snapshot Repository</name> <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> Use Example: /** * Finds clinical procedures in text using regular expressions. * Accepts parameters for the procedure's regular expression and the procedure's CUI. */ public class ApacheConDemoEngine extends JCasAnnotator_ImplBase { @ConfigurationParameter( name = "REGEX", description = "Regular Rexpression to use for matching clinical procedures.", defaultValue = "biopsy" ) private String _regex; @ConfigurationParameter( name = "REGEX_CUI", description = "CUI for matched clinical procedure expressions.", defaultValue = "AC123" ) private String _regexCui; /** * Finds Procedures using a regular expression and creates Identified Annotations. */ @Override public void process( JCas jCas ) throws AnalysisEngineProcessException { IdentifiedAnnotationBuilder builder = new IdentifiedAnnotationBuilder() .group( SemanticGroup.PROCEDURE ) .cui( _regexCui ); try ( RegexSpanFinder finder = new RegexSpanFinder( _regex ) ) { finder.findSpans( jCas.getDocumentText() ) .forEach( span -> builder .span( span ) .build( jCas ) ); } catch ( IllegalArgumentException iaE ) { throw new AnalysisEngineProcessException( iaE ); } } } Sean ________________________________________ From: John Doe <lucanus...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, May 28, 2021 10:45 AM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: How to find IdentifiedAnnotationBuilder in build [EXTERNAL] * External Email - Caution * Hello, I'm just wondering where IdentifiedAnnotationBuilder is located in the ctakes lib. I see it in the source code in ctakes-core but I can't find it in any of the maven dependency packages. I also extracted the ctakes-core jar in CTAKES_HOME/lib and still didn't find it. Is there a simple way to use this builder? Ideally, I could just add a dependency to my pom and pull it in but I can't seem to find any that have it. Why is it excluded from ctakes-core? Thanks.
