opennlp install - no suitable method found for train

Question

Hello I am trying to install opennlp on ubuntu. I have installed java 7, svn and maven 3.0.4. I have checked out the opennlp-trunk project based on the instructions on http://opennlp.apache.org/source-code.html.

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/opennlp/trunk/

Now I go into trunk/opennlp and run the install command

mvn clean install

and I get this error

Answer 1

Yep, the trunk is currently officially broken. The Apache Jenkins confirms the build failure. The OpenNLP developers have been notified.

Disclosure: I am an Apache committer (not on OpenNLP though).

Answer 2

Build should be back to normal.
