CORENLP error edu.stanford.nlp.time.TimeExpressionExtractorImpl

[AkashGanesan]

Hi, I'm getting the above error.

I've this code from the coreNLP page.

`import edu.stanford.nlp.scenegraph.SceneGraph;
import edu.stanford.nlp.scenegraph.RuleBasedParser;
public class TestSceneGraph{

public static String text = "Joe Smith was born in California. " +
		"In 2017, he went to Paris, France in the summer. " +
		"His flight left at 3:00pm on July 10th, 2017. " +
		"After eating some escargot for the first time, Joe said, \"That was delicious!\" " +
		"He sent a postcard to his sister Jane Smith. " +
		"After hearing about Joe's trip, Jane decided she might go to France one day.";

public static void main(String[] args) {
	    // set up pipeline properties
        RuleBasedParser parser = new RuleBasedParser();
	    SceneGraph sg = parser.parse(text);
	    //printing the scene graph in JSON form;
	    System.out.println(sg.toString());    
	    
}

}`

When I run this, I get the following error.

I'm also using Java 1.8

Getting the same issue for java 9.0.4

[J38]

Adding this --add-modules java.se.ee to the java command should fix the issue. When Java 9 came out they stopped default including some modules, so you need to tell it to use the java.se.ee stuff.

I'm sorry to just jump on this, but I get this exact same issue with Java 9 when attempting to initialize CoreNLP in R, is there a way to do the --add-modules java.se.ee in R?

[AkashGanesan]

So, one fix that I did was to compile this module with the following line of code where any place we create a StanfordCoreNLP object (constructor takes the Properties object).

props.setProperty("ner.useSUTime", "false");

Also, it didn't work for me with java.se.ee in Eclipse.
This is for Java 1.8. But even if you do get past this, this scenegraph code is very old and doesn't work with the current version of CoreNLP. It works with 3.6.0 (Didn't test it on anything else though.

[tarskiandhutch]

It appears that the issue requiring the command line switch --add-modules java.se.ee has been resolved in CoreNLP's 3.9.2 release. Is this observation correct?

Adding this --add-modules java.se.ee to the java command should fix the issue. When Java 9 came out they stopped default including some modules, so you need to tell it to use the java.se.ee stuff.

--add-modules java.se.ee

@J38 thanks for the solution. However, java.se.ee module is no longer available in java 11.
DO you have any suggestion ?

[ejgarcian]

Fix with: props.setProperty("ner.useSUTime", "0");
