getting_started_with_pbj

Prerequisites:

• Apache cTAKES
• Python virtual environment
• Apache Artemis broker

Instructions For making an Artemis Broker:

1. Download Apache ActiveMQ Artemis here: https://activemq.apache.org/components/artemis/download/
   
2. In a terminal, navigate to the apache-artemis folder
   
3. Navigate into bin, then use these commands ./bin/artemis create [name of your broker] for Mac and Linux or bin\artemis create [name of your broker] for Windows

• You will be prompted to create a username and password, as well as --allow-anonymous, Press Y for this option

You should now have an Artemis broker and can now run PBJ

For more information see apache-artemis documentation.

Run Your First Example

1. Create a run configuration with the parameters below.
   

• Java Version: Java-17
• ClassPath: ctakes-examples
• Main class: org.apache.ctakes.core.pipeline.PiperFileRunner
• In the program arguments section include these parameters
  -p "[Location of piper file]"
-i "[Location for input]"
-a "[Location of your Artemis Broker]"
-v "[Location of your Python virtual environment]"
-o "[Location for output]"
  

For this example you should use PbjSentencePrinter as the piper file

For input you can use the documents in ctakes-examples:org/apache/ctakes/examples/notes/annotated

I will be using Intellij as shown in the images below
