I am trying to stem a string using WordNet with the JWNL API. When I try to load the dictionary it gives me a FileNotFoundException.
This is the code initializing the dictionary:
public static void Initializer(){
try {
JWNL.initialize(new FileInputStream("file_properties.xml"));
dictionary = Dictionary.getInstance();
morphPro = dictionary.getMorphologicalProcessor();
}
catch(FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JWNLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And this is what I get:

Caused by: net.didion.jwnl.JWNLException: The properties file must specify a dictionary path

I am pretty sure that it has something to do with the path, but I can not find out exactly what is wrong, since I changed the file properties.xml to use C:\WordNet\2.1\dict\ – so that should be okay?
Okay so I found out what was wrong. It was looking for the wrong files. I renamed the index.verb, index.adj etc. to verb.idx… This solved the problem and the program is now able to lookup the words in the dictionary.
