downloadModel

public static <T extends BaseModel> T downloadModel(String language,

downloadModel

public static <T extends BaseModel> T downloadModel(URL url,
 Class<T> type)
                                             throws IOException

Downloads a model from a URL.

The model is saved to an .opennlp/ directory located in the user's home directory. This directory will be created if it does not already exist. If a model to be downloaded already exists in that directory, the model will not be re-downloaded.

Type Parameters:

T - The generic type which is a subclass of BaseModel.

Parameters:

url - The model's URL.

type - The class of the resulting model DownloadUtil.

Returns:

A model instance of type DownloadUtil.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown if the model cannot be downloaded.
