If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is indeed some code for doing chunking. If you download the latest release of Grok, look at grok/src/java/opennlp/grok/preprocess/chunk/, or online at:
One caveat: Grok is no longer being actively developed as it has been split into two projects, OpenCCG (parsing) and a kit within OpenNLP (mainly preprocessing stuff). Unfortunately, it looks like Tom Morton still hasn't brought the NP chunking stuff into the OpenNLP fold, so I hope you can get things to work with the old Grok code. (I'm cc'ing this to Joerg, who wrote the chunking code --- Joerg, have you played with that code recently?)
I'm posting your message and my reply to the Grok sourceforge forum. I would appreciate it if any further correspondence happens there so that the discussion will be there for others to see.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Rakesh,
There is indeed some code for doing chunking. If you download the latest release of Grok, look at grok/src/java/opennlp/grok/preprocess/chunk/, or online at:
