Does not work with jwnl14-rc1

[Mark T. B. Carroll]

The README for RelEx should probably warn that while it does work with jwnl-1.3.3, it doesn't with jwnl14-rc1.

Can you provide details about what got broken? Any suggestions about fixes?

Technically, a "version 1.4" of something should be binary compatible with
a "version 1.3" of something, since the major version number didn't get
bumped. Perhaps this bug should be reported to the jwnl folks, instead?

I've added a short note to the README file in the repository about this.

jwnl14-rc2 also fails. Adding a traceback to MorphyFactory.initializeJWNL eventually exposes some minor confusions, which may be due to changes in WordNet version 3

(1) line 22 in data/wordnet/file_properties.xml, missing 'dict':
old <param name="dictionary_path" value="/usr/local/wordnet"/>
             <!-- Use this in Ubuntu -->

new <param name="dictionary_path" value="/usr/local/wordnet/dict"/> <!-- Use this in Ubuntu -->

(2) WordNet version 3 changed some file names:
     sudo (cd /usr/local/wordnet/dict; ln -s index.sense sense.idx)

===================================
Here is the exception that was being caught in MorphyFactory.initializeJWNL:

Info: Using default ./data/wordnet/file_properties.xml

net.didion.jwnl.JWNLException: Unable to install net.didion.jwnl.dictionary.FileBackedDictionary

[linas (linasvepstas)]

I'm confused by the above note. Ubuntu installs wordnet 3 into
/usr/share/wordnet and not to /usr/local/wordnet/dict

If something is installing into /usr/local, its because its not
supported in the distro, and is instead being manually
installed from source.

To get the sense index on Ubuntu, you need to install the
"wordnet-sense-index" package.

Sorry it took so long .. but version 0.98.1 now includes a fix, which should enable relex to run with any version of jwnl.
