Train ACE Event Tagger

Train ACE Event Tagger uses one or more APF files to train the pattern and model files used by the Ace event tagger.  It is invoked by

xjet AceJet.TrainEventTagger propertyFile fileList docDir outDir [glarfDir glarfFileExtension]

where
propertyFile
Jet properties file
fileList
a list of the documents to be processed, one document doc per line
(for document doc, the text file is assumed to be doc.sgm and the APF file doc.apf.xml)
docDir
the path of the directory containing both the text and APF files for the documents
outDir
the path of the directory which will contain all the generated pattern, feature, and model files
glarfDir
if present, the path of the directory containing the GLARF triples for the documents
glarfFileExtension
(required if glarfDir is present) the file extension of each GLARF triples file
