Hi Sean, It looks like I may get some support from my employer to explore 5.0 this summer, and while doing so, also test the jdk11 build, but I have a couple of quick questions.
1. If the system would still require 1.8 to run due to certain dependencies, what would be the advantage of building it under 11? - or were you suggesting that an 11 runtime would be possible by upgrading those dependencies too. 2. In building the complete 5.0 from git, I've run into a problem with maven blocking certain artifacts due to http/https issues. There are global fixes and project by project specific fixes. Which do you recommend? Ideally should maven be run with -o? *[INFO] --- maven-remote-resources-plugin:1.4:process (default) @ ctakes-core ---Downloading from maven-default-http-blocker: http://0.0.0.0/org/apache/ctakes/ctakes-models/5.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml <http://0.0.0.0/org/apache/ctakes/ctakes-models/5.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml>* 3. Finally, I had asked a while back if someone could point me to a list of improvements or significant additions to cTakes that have occurred over the last year or so. Since no one responded, I decided to look at all the SVN and Git commit messages and diffing the sources. I did come across the PBJ project. The readme doesn't actually explain what it is for and there are various meanings of the term PBJ in the python community. This one looks like infrastructure to allow ctakes to be called from a python pipeline using Artemis to decouple the processes -- or am I wrong and it is the reverse (calling python from within a cTakes pipeline) If there are any areas where concept lookup has been improved through better semantic contextualization please let us know! Peter
