A highly extensible plattform for conversion and manipulation of linguistic data between an unbound set of formats. Pepper can be used stand-alone as a command line interface, or be integrated as an API into other software products.
I've downloaded Pepper_2019.06.11.zip, unzipped it and was trying to run it under Windows7 with Java8 and Ubuntu Ubuntu 18.04 (with Java11 and with Java8), but st command fails for all exporting modules, e.g.,
Checking 'ANNISExporter'
Problems occured in: [A Pepper module 'Merger' is not ready to start., A Pepper module 'DOTManipulator' is not ready to start.]
Then, an attempt to perform ELAN-to-ANNIS conversion fails as well
As an attempt to run pepper 'convert' command leads to multiple "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator" (originating mostly from "org.corpus_tools.pepper.impl.PepperMapperControllerImpl.run"),
it seems that Apache Xerces2 might be missing, but I have not figured out how to add it to pepper (i.e., copying xercesImpl.jar to lib folder doesn't seem to help).
How can I fix this?
A further question is, is there any workable example workflow for ELAN-to-ANNIS coversion ???
