title: Java: How to Integrate Other Software
body: <p>I've always been impressed by the StackOverflow hive mind, and was hoping you could point me in the right direction here.</p>
  
  <p>I've taken some courses in Java programming, and understand how to write a fairly complex Java program. However, I've never learned how to integrate others' software into my own programs.</p>
  
  <p>For a new project, I'd like to integrate a <a href="http://cogcomp.cs.illinois.edu/page/download_view/POS" rel="nofollow">part-pf-speech tagger</a> and <a href="http://cogcomp.cs.illinois.edu/page/download_view/Chunker" rel="nofollow">chunker</a> into my code, but have no idea how to "load" these programs (if load is the correct term).</p>
  
  <p>I'm certainly not looking for step-by-step instructions, but rather a guide for how to go about this sort of issue. If anyone could get me started in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Adam</p>
