java.lang.NullPointerException error for standalone version

[EnsarEmirali]

Hi,
I am newbie for Java. I completed the installation by following Manual.pdf file. Then I created an example text file on the same folder with standalone. When I run "java -jar de.unihd.dbs.heideltime.standalone.jar ex.txt" command on terminal, I get following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks for your help.

Hello I was having same issue and had same set of error.
The problem is that I commented the line "chineseTokenizerPath = SET ME IN CONFIG.PROPS! (e.g., /home/jannik/treetagger/chinese-tokenizer)" inside config.props.
So if you have commented it kindly remove the comment and it should work.
All the best !
