How do I use Farasa segmentation package as a library in an application?
To use Farasa Diacritizer as a library in your application, just build it (or download the already built one) and then import the jar file FarasaDiacritizeJar.jar into your project. The following is an example few lines of code to show how to use Farasa POS module.
package tryingfarasa;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import com.qcri.farasa.segmenter.Farasa;
import com.qcri.farasa.pos.FarasaPOSTagger;
import com.qcri.farasa.diacritize.DiacritizeText;


public class TryingFarasaPOS {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException, ClassNotFoundException,
    UnsupportedEncodingException, InterruptedException, Exception {

        Farasa farasa = new Farasa();
        FarasaPOSTagger farasaPOS = new FarasaPOSTagger(farasa);

        String dataDirectory = "/var/www/farasa/data/";
        DiacritizeText dt = new DiacritizeText(dataDirectory, "all-text.txt.nocase.blm", farasa, tagger);
        String diacritized = dt.diacritize("النص المراد معالجته");
     }
}
Which Java version should I use?
We tried Java 7 and Java 8 to build and run the Farasa packages. Earlier version of java may not be suitable to build the packages due to some dependencies(where the encoding is utf-8)
