Honey Baked Goodness!

This is pretty much straight from the openNLP README

% echo "The openNLP project is also pretty cool, LGPL and it doesn't cost $3000" | ./textMe.sh 
[NP The/DT openNLP/JJ project/NN ] [VP is/VBZ ] [ADVP also/RB ] [ADJP pretty/RB cool/JJ ] 
,/, [NP LGPL/NNP ] and/CC [NP it/PRP ] [VP does/VBZ n't/RB cost/VB ] 000/CD

The script is dumb:

_textMe_main() {
    local classpath="output/opennlp-tools-1.4.3.jar:"
    classpath="${classpath}:$( find lib -name "*.jar" |xargs |tr ' ' ':' )"
    local jMe="java -classpath ${classpath}"
    ${jMe} opennlp.tools.lang.english.SentenceDetector  \
        english/sentdetect/EnglishSD.bin.gz                     \  
    | ${jMe} opennlp.tools.lang.english.Tokenizer            \
        english/tokenize/EnglishTok.bin.gz                       \
    | ${jMe} opennlp.tools.lang.english.PosTagger -d       \
        english/parser/tagdict english/parser/tag.bin.gz   \
    | ${jMe} opennlp.tools.lang.english.TreebankChunker \
        english/chunker/EnglishChunk.bin.gz
}   

_textMe_main ${*}

Break it down:

% echo "This is a sentence? I know this is, Mr. Funzone... What will happen?" | ${jMe} opennlp.tools.lang.english.SentenceDetector english/sentdetect/EnglishSD.bin.gz
This is a sentence?
I know this is, Mr. Funzone... What will happen?
