For this homework assignment, you will create a class that is able to clean and parse text into stemmed words using the SnowballStemmer class. Use UTF_8 and try-with-resources when writing your files. Do not use the java.io.File class.
Below are some hints that may help with this homework assignment:
-
You need to have use the third-party Apache OpenNLP library. The library should be automatically setup in Eclipse by Maven. See the
main(String[])method and the Apache OpenNLP Tools Javadoc for how to use this library. -
When working with files, you should use try-with-resources, the
UTF-8character encoding, and buffered readers and writers. -
Look for opportunities to reduce duplicate code. For example, you could reuse some existing methods and/or create a new helper method that is reused in the methods that work with files.
These hints are optional. There may be multiple approaches to solving this homework.
Use the "Tasks" view in Eclipse to find the TODO comments for what need to be implemented and the "Javadoc" view to see additional details.
The tests are provided in the src/test/ directory; do not modify any of the files in that directory. Check the run details on GitHub Actions for how many points each test group is worth.
