Hi,

What i did was create a python file as:

import nltk
from java.util import Random

class NLPPresentation(Random):
    def nextDouble(self):
        return 1
    def TagByBrown(self,sent):
        "@sig public String[] TagByBrown(String sent)"
        brown_a = nltk.corpus.brown.tagged_sents(categories='a')
        bigram_tagger = nltk.BigramTagger(brown_a, cutoff=0)
        lst = bigram_tagger.tag(sent.split())
        return lst

I processed the following code through jythonc compiler to form a JAR
file. I then imported this jar
file into java ide (Java Builder). I then wrote the following program
in java to access this python class:

import org.python.core.PyException;
import org.python.core.PyInteger;
import org.python.core.PyObject;
import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;
import java.util.Random;
import org.nltk.*;
import org.nltk.mallet.*;
public class SimpleEmbedded extends NLPPresentation{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws PyException {
        SimpleEmbedded so = new SimpleEmbedded();
		String s = "he is a boy";
		so.Call(s);
	}
	public void Call(String s)
	{
		String[] arr = TagByBrown(s);
		System.out.println(arr[1]);
	}
}

When i compile the above java code, i get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\jython2.2.1\NLPPresentation.py", line 0, in main
ImportError: no module named nltk

Your comments are highly appreciated.
