I am working on a project for NER and I have to use Apache Stanbol. Installing it from maven by compiling whole source is a big task and time consuming. Are there any prebuilt jars like Apache Solr which has 'start.jar' in which it come as a webapp with Jetty server? Because then I can run the server straight away and start sending http request along with my content.
It is also hard to find the tutorial for Apache Stanbol installation and where I find, it is using maven and compiling the whole source code.
ASF currently does not provide pre-built binaries. But according to [1], IKS (Interactive Knowledge Stack) [2] project offers what you want.
The main resources of reference are the official Stanbol website [3] and the mail list([email protected]). User issues are accepted in this dev mail group as Apache stanbol does not have a separate user mail list yet.
However, I recommend you to build from the source code.

Hope this helps.
