Maven build for Stanford CoreNLP and Stanford Parser

Question

Given that coreNLP is almost 1gb and Stanford Parser (as provided on the Stanford website) is 300+mb, is it necessary to include both in my classpath if I am running both in my application?

Answer 1

It seems that all the demo functions provided in the Stanford demo code work just fine with the following maven dependencies and nothing else. Stanford corenlp is a behemoth, but the stanford-parser is just a small jar of classes. The models from core-nlp jar work with stanford-parser.
