Description

Kalamar-Plugin-Export is a web service that integrates in the plugin framework of Kalamar, to export matches for the KorAP Corpus Analysis Platform in various formats. Currently supported are RTF, CSV, and JSON.

Kalamar-Plugin-Export is meant to be a basic export plugin and should demonstrate and evaluate the plugin capabilities of Kalamar.

Prerequisites

Java 8 (OpenJDK or Oracle JDK), Git, Maven 3. Further dependencies are resolved using Maven.

Build

To build the latest version of Kalamar-Plugin-Export, do ...

$ git clone https://github.com/KorAP/Kalamar-Plugin-Export
$ cd Kalamar-Plugin-Export

... and build the jar file ...

$ mvn clean package

Afterwards the jar file is located in the target/ folder and can be started with ...

    "onClick" : {
      "action" : "addWidget",
