Hi Jeff.

I've seen this error :
"ERROR: Can't locate NETaggerLevel1.lc in the class path."
before. It's an illusive error. The file  NETaggerLevel1.java
is generated automatically, so I believe that understanding
it is the wrong way to go.

Are you using Unix/Linux or Windows. The error you're  reporting
is typical for the Windows systems. One of the  tricks there, is that
in Windows, your paths should be absolute, e.g:

D:\temp\TFGTagger\dist\TFGTagger.jar;D:\temp\TFGTagger\lib\LBJ2.jar;D:\temp\TFGTagger\lib\LBJ2Library.jar
EndToEndSystemTFG.TFGTagger annotate
D:\temp\TFGTagger\Data\SampleEmails\SampleRawMails
D:\temp\TFGTagger\Data\SampleEmails\SampleTaggedMails
D:\temp\TFGTagger\Config\TFG_ForClient_X.config

Also, the column format I'm using is a little different from CoNLL03
annotation format. Below is an example, note that there is shallow
parse and POS info there, but I don't use it. So you can replace these
columns by dummy values. Sorry, I don't have a script for that. The
importance of the column format is that sentence boundaries are
marked. I have a support for "brackets format",but then you'll rely on
my own sentence splitting, and you won't be able to reproduce the
results. Here is the sample data. Please let me know if it solves your
problems:
