Package gate.util

Interface Summary

AnnotationDiffer.Pairing	Interface representing a pairing between a key annotation and a response one.
Benchmarkable	Resources that want to log their progress or results into a shared log centrally maintained by GATE, should implement this interface and use the java.util.Benchmark class to log their entries.
ClosableIterator<T>	An iterator that should be closed as soon as it is not used anymore.
DocumentProcessor	Very simple interface for a component that processes GATE documents.
FeatureBearer	Classes that have features.
IdBearer	Classes that have Ids.
NameBearer	Classes that have features.

Class Summary

AbstractFeatureBearer	A convenience implemetation of FeatureBearer.
AbstractNameBearer
AnnotationDiffer	This class provides the logic used by the Annotation Diff tool.
AnnotationDiffer.PairingOffsetComparator	Compares two choices based on start offset of key (or response if key not present) and type if offsets are equal.
AnnotationDiffer.PairingScoreComparator	Compares two pairings: the better score is preferred; for the same score the better type is preferred (exact matches are preffered to partial ones).
AnnotationMerging	Merging the annotations from different annotators.
Benchmark	This class provides methods for making entries in the shared log maintained by the GATE system.
BomStrippingInputStreamReader	StreamReader that removes the Unicode BOM, even when Sun/Oracle is too lazy to do so.
ClassificationMeasures	Given two annotation sets, a type and a feature, compares the feature values.
Coordinates
CorpusBenchmarkTool
CorpusSaver
CreoleXmlUpperCaseFilter	SAX XMLFilter implementation used when reading a creole.xml file to ensure that all the standard creole elements and their attribute names are converted to upper case.
Err	Shorthand for the System.err.print and println methods.
ExtensionFileFilter	Implementation of a file name filter.
Files	Some utilities for use with Files and with resources.
GateClassLoader	GATE's class loader, which allows loading of classes over the net.
HashMapLong	simple cut-off version of the hashmap with native long's as keys only get,put and isEmpty methods are implemented().
HtmlLinksExtractor	This class extracts links from HTML files.
JarFiles	This class is used to merge a set of Jar/Zip Files in a Jar File It is ignored the manifest.
Javac	This class compiles a set of java sources using the user's preferred Java compiler.
LanguageAnalyserDocumentProcessor	DocumentProcessor that processes documents using a LanguageAnalyser.
LaxErrorHandler
NameComparator	Compares NameBearers by name (string comparation)
ObjectComparator	A Comparator implementation for Object values.
ObjectPool	A generic implementation of pool of references to objects of any kind.
ObjectWriter	Writes an object to an PipedOutputStream wich can be connected to a PipedInputStream.
OffsetComparator	Compares annotations by start offset
OntologyMeasures	Modified version of Precision and Recall called BDM that takes into account the distance of two concepts in an ontology.
OptionsMap	A map that stores values as strings and provides support for converting some frequently used types to and from string.
OrderByRestriction
Out	Shorthand for the System.out.print and println methods.
Pair
ProcessManager	Class that supports running an external process and either silently consuming its standard output and error streams, or copying them to Java's stdout and stderr.
ProgressPrinter	Class used to simulate the behaviour of a progress bar on an OutputStream.
RawEditorKit	This class provides an editor kit that does not change \n\r to \n but instead it leaves the original text as is.
RBTreeMap	Slightly modified implementation of java.util.TreeMap in order to return the closest neighbours in the case of a failed search.
ReloadingClassLoader
Restriction
SimpleArraySet<T>	A specific *partial* implementation of the Set interface used for high performance and memory reduction on small sets.
SimpleFeatureMapImpl	Simple case of features.
SimpleSortedSet	The purpose of this Map is to combine the functionality found in TreeSet, especially first() and tailSet() with the hashcode driven map using native long as key to hold the annotations ordered by their offset.
Strings	Some utilities for use with Strings.
TemplateLaxErrorHandler
TestAnnotationMerging
TestApplication	Test an application against its previous run on a corpus.
TestClassificationMeasures
TestDiffer
TestEqual	This class provides some static utility methods such as equality test for annotation sets and documents.
TestFeatureMap	Title: Gate2 Description: Copyright: Copyright (c) 2000 Company: University Of Sheffield
TestFiles	Files test class.
TestJavac
TestRBTreeMap	Tests for the RBTreeMap class
TestReload
TestTemplate	Template test class - to add a new part of the test suite: copy this class and change "Template" to the name of the new tests; add a line to TestGate.java in the suite method referencing your new class; add test methods to this class.
TestTools	Test cases for Tools.getMostSpecificConstructor(java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class).
Tools
VersionComparator	A comparator that can be used for comparing GATE version strings.

Exception Summary

DocumentFormatException	This exception can be used to catch any internal exception thrown by the DocumentFormat class and its subbclasses.
GateException	A superclass for exceptions in the GATE packages.
GateRuntimeException	Exception used to signal a runtime exception within Gate.
GateSaxException	An inherited class from SAX exception in the GATE packages.
InvalidOffsetException	Used to signal an attempt to create a node with an invalid offset.
LazyProgrammerException	What to throw in a method that hasn't been implemented yet.
LuckyException	This exception is intended to be used in places where there definitely shouldn't be any exceptions thrown but the API requires us to catch some, eg: try{ if( a !
