How can I split a text into sentences using the Stanford parser?

Question

How can I split a text or paragraph into sentences using Stanford parser?

Is there any method that can extract sentences, such as getSentencesFromString()

Answer 1

Another element, not addressed except in a few downvoted answers, is how to set the sentence delimiters? The most common way, the default, is to depend up the common punctuation marks which state the end of a sentence. There are other document formats that one might face from drawing upon gathered corpora, one of which being each line is it's own sentence.

To set your delimiters for the DocumentPreprocessor as in the accepted answers, you would use setSentenceDelimiter(String). To use the pipeline approach suggested as in the answer by @Kevin, one would work with the ssplit properties. For example, to use the end of line scheme proposed in the previous paragraph, one would set the property ssplit.eolonly to true
