Class ExceptionLineParser

java.lang.Object
  edu.mit.jwi.data.parse.ExceptionLineParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

ILineParser<IExceptionEntryProxy>

public class ExceptionLineParser
extends java.lang.Object
implements ILineParser<IExceptionEntryProxy>

Parser for Wordnet exception files (e.g., exc.adv or adv.exc). This parser produces IExceptionEntryProxy objects instead of IExceptionEntry objects directly because the exception files do not contain information about part of speech. This needs to be added by the governing object to create a full-fledged IExceptionEntry object.

This class follows a singleton design pattern, and is not intended to be instantiated directly; rather, call the getInstance() method to get the singleton instance.
