Packaging languagetool?

[bollwyvl]

Hi folks, thanks for maintaining this!

To be able to ship things built on this that work offline (once installed), I'd like to be able to encapsulate the whole dependency tree (languagetool, openjdk) as versioned conda dependencies rather than waiting for import time to download to and update ~/cache.

Since languagetool could be useful outside the context of this package, perhaps that should be added to staged-recipes (potentially built from source), and put in a well-known location (TBD) with CLI wrappers, etc.

This package could then take that location into account. The existing package could become one of a few outputs, e.g. language_tool_python_core, while the new language_tool_python package could depend on *_core and languagetool. This could be done with preactivate scripts (java packages often need these to up CLASSPATH, etc.) but a patch to utils.py might be more sensible.

If (some) of this sounds reasonable, I can take a whack at the languagetool piece!
