Compilation error: ctakes-web-rest/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/rest/service/CtakesRestController.java:[59,5] error: cannot find symbol about ctakes-rest-service

[MatthewVita]

Hi folks. One of the Team Epsilon folks here. I have been away from open source for many months due to health issues.

What @alessiaBasadonne points out is exactly the kind of thing I am working to correct on the README. My work is all on a local branch right now but has many corrections. Hope to get it pushed within the month.

Although I will have some outliers, these corrections will likely help with the open project issues.

I encountered the same Exception; is there a Fix?

Hey @michaeljtbrooks I did manage to make the installation work! The problem is that if you follow this step (sudo apt-get install default-jdk you end up with java 10 instead of java 8 which causes broken dependencies in the project)
This issue is not related to ctakes but made me get what was the problem:
[(https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-core/issues/441)]

So here is how I modified the installation to make it work:
Instead of sudo apt-get install default-jdk use sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

In the Tomcat portion the version in the wget does not exist anymore, substitute 8.5.37 or with 8.5.42 or another version that exists.

Modify tomcat.service to make it point to the right JVM (Not the latest but Java8)

Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java" -> Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"

If you have any problem feel free to contact me! I think we can close the issue, 'cause it's not really a bug :)

Okay, README is updated. I'm going to close this. If it needs to be re-opened, let me know.
