POS-Tagging API for Italian Language on Mac OSX

Question

I need help Looking for POS-Tagging API that works on documents in Italian. My preference is for open source code (possibly; ruby, jruby, macruby, java, scala). The program that I write will run on Mac OsX and I have already explored this list but there is no much for "Italian Language"

As of 10.8, Cocoa NSLinguisticTagger provides parts-of-speech tags and lemmas for Spanish and Italian, I could try it, but before upgrading my OSX 10.7 please let me know if you think really worth it or if I have other good options.

Answer 1

Tree Tagger comes with support for Italian and runs on OS X.
