How to resolve "Missing the manifest.properties" in OpenNLP?

Question

I'm trying to use OpenNLP for tokenization. I don't know what's the problem. Following is the exception:

opennlp.tools.util.InvalidFormatException: Missing the manifest.properties!

Answer 1

The OpenNLP model files are version-specific. I suspect that you're trying to use a 1.4 (or earlier) model file with OpenNLP 1.5. Make sure that you've downloaded the right model file for the version of OpenNLP you're using.
