I am very new to boilerpipe and I am trying out the following basic code:
package contentExtraction;
import java.net.URL;
import de.l3s.boilerpipe.extractors.ArticleExtractor;
public class ContentExtractor {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final URL url = new URL(
// ""
""
);
System.out.println(ArticleExtractor.INSTANCE.getText(url));
}
}
But I am getting the following error when trying to run the above piece of code:

I googled the error and came across this link. I thought that I was missing xercesImpl.jar in my dependencies. I included the same, still my code is giving the same error. What is the issue?

I figured the solution myself. The boilerpipe jar has further dependencies. I converted my project to maven project, included the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.syncthemall</groupId>
<artifactId>boilerpipe</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
</dependency>
When I build the above project, I can see there are actually 4 jars that are imported in Maven Dependencies folder:
boilerpipe-1.2.1.jar
nekohtml-1.9.18.jar
xercesImpl-2.11.0.jar
xml-apis-1.4.01.jar
