Run Heideltime without config.props #54

Hey folks. First i'd like to thank for this amazing too.

I'd like to know if i can run my java code using heideltime without the config.props or the tree-tagger files, i mean, as a standalone application.

The problem with it is that the application gets tied to a local config file and worse, to a local executable file. Is there a chance of you to mavenize all this in only one deliverable?

Hi, i am currently out of office, so I cannot actively work on anything. But three things:

unfortunately, we cannot put the treetagger into the project as it comes with its own licensing.
you do not need to use the treetagger, but you can set the pos tagger to "no" - which however might result in worse results...
you should also be abel to manually specify the path to the config.props file

Feel free to keep me in the loop- maybe Julian hast more Information for you...

Cheers, Jannik

I use a (heavily modified) version of Heideltime in standalone mode, with Stanford CoreNLP. IIRC you can use the HeidelTimeStandalone.java code as a blueprint. The part I found to be most difficult is to get the UIMA stuff initialized. But in the end, I still have .properties files - for CoreNLP.

As I needed to run Heideltime in a Docker container, I created a Dockerfile for it. You might be able use this to either run heideltime in a container or use it as a blueprint for your own installation:
