Because the Google Dictionary API is deprecated (e.g., following)
http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=a&sl=en&tl=en&q=love
and has been replaced with define (e.g., following)
https://www.google.com/#q=define+love
Does anybody know how to use/invoke the "Google define" API in java?
Here is the chrome extension which does similar thing.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-dictionary-by-goog/mgijmajocgfcbeboacabfgobmjgjcoja
As an alternative, are there any open source dictionary APIs? I found Oxford (OED), Cambridge, Merriam-Webster, Wordnik APIs which provide APIs in subscription models.
Also found Wordnet 3.1 which is pretty old. Not sure if it being updated or not.
Unfortunately, like others have said, the Google Dictionary API is deprecated.
As I needed a Google Dictionary API for my project, I decided to create one.
I scraped the web page for the URL https://www.google.com/#q=define+term where term is any word you want to get meaning of, and created the API. You can find it here.
How to use
The basic syntax of a URL request to the API is shown below:
https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/<--language_code-->/<--word-->
As an example, to get definition of English word hello, you can send request to:
https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/hello
The API also provides other meanings of the word, example sentences, and synonyms, if any.
If you want me to include any other details, please comment and I will happily extend the API to cover your needs.
The source code is on GitHub.
Yes! Google Dictionary access is removed.
This does the same job but still has access.
AFAIK, Dictionary Lookup is one of the most popular as listed by
www.programmableweb.com/apitag/dictionary/1?q=dictionary&sort=mashups
To get the very best definitions I would go with api for Merriam-Webster or Oxford. As long as your use is not commercial you'll be okay up to 1,000 queries per day (Merriam-Webster) and up to 3,000 queries per month (Oxford).

I'm trying to access java.sun.com so I can read their documentation on speech recognition here:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/speech/forDevelopers/jsapi-guide/
Unfortunately, I cannot access this page or any other page under java.sun.com...
Is it just my computer that's having problems with this? Or is their site down?
Does anyone have a copy of this documentation they could share? Or an idea on when the site will be back online?
I've looked online for answers on these and I couldn't find anything.
Thank you!
Hopefully, you're aware that Sun was acquired by Oracle. You still can reach the cached version of this page here. Lots of links from sun.com were broken.
To get the version of page cached by Google you can either enter cache:<YOUR_URL_HERE> in the address bar (assuming you're using Google Chrome) or copy-paste the URL into the google search box, and then navigate to the cached version from the search results.
Edit
OK, that was lazy me 4 hours ago ;) I did a little research and that's what I found out:
Official Oracle FAQ
JSR-113 JavaTM Speech API Specification
Since Java Speech API is only a specification, you could find more information from concrete implementations. See FreeTTS Programmer's Guide for example (for a whole list of implementations refer to FAQ mentioned above).
And while I was typing this Edit, I could tell you for sure that the link you mentioned in the original post was available for a couple of minutes :)
Oracle has this technology tucked away here. There is also a FAQ about it here.
Since this is only a specification, you need to grab an implementation. According to (Sun) Oracle, these are the implementations of note, probably prior to the migration. Who knows which implementations are actually maintained these days, as JSAPI doesn't seem to have been included into 1.7 (maybe it will get into 1.8?)
Here I found the documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17802_01/products/products/java-media/speech/forDevelopers/jsapi-doc/javax/speech/recognition/package-summary.html

My requirement is to access moodle as a backend engine and front end will be mint in Java[jsf]
now I want to know that is there any interface available to access Moodle from Java , using WebServices or any APIs or anything.
Initially I tried using Sakai which is in Java, but the problem is there is no clear API written for it.
So let me know the option for using Moodle from JAVA.
Also if it is possible than what will be the feature available through the WebServices or API. ?
Or any other LMS that is in Java and provide API or WebService to make this working.
I reviewed many LMS (dokeos, docebo, ATutor) last year and to be frank all of them sucked. Moodle was the most stable, had more plugins and a huge community.
I came across Project Sakai, I havn't tried it, but sounds promising. Something very interesting from Google is cloudcourse (in python I guess, but looks awesome demo). But not a complete LMS (compared to moodle).
You forgot to add Chamilo they have a list of available web services (SOAP) that you can use to create courses, users, add users to courses, etc
https://www.olat.org/ and https://www.openolat.com seem a good alternative to moodle.

I need an open source GIS that allows one to view/zoom/click the maps using a web browser and should be java compliant (deployable on a java app server).
Well, I have tried to structure the requirement in 'what-i-have' and 'what-i-need' lists:
Inputs:
Location: lat/long
Data : Text to display
zoom level: (assume there are about 5)
Output
Data displayed on a Map
Would appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks.
UPDATE: GeoServer + OpenLayers seems to be the best fit for this requirement
GeoServer: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Welcome
...is what I use. You have work ahead of you no matter what you pick, though. Setting up data sources and making them look nice is a decent amount of effort.
For the client side, OpenLayers is an excellent Javascript library.
I agree with the geoserver response and all the rest of the responses ignore your statement that is has to work with Java. The only other bad option would be to write something yourself using geotools.
Go to the OpenGeo site and see the stack they support. That is the stack you are probably most interested in deploying.
I guess you'll need:
GDAL/OGR to translate the data into a kml file example
Take that KML file and pump it into either:
a. Google maps api or openlayers
b. I've had lots of luck using featuresever which I personally recommend

I need help indexing and searching English text using Java Lucene over Google App Engine. The only solution I have found so far was the SnowballAnalyzer (in the contrib packages), but it only supports Lucene 3.0, and GAELucene only supports lucene 2.3.1. Just changing jars doesn't really work.
Can anyone help me index my text with an English stemmer?
The SnowballAnalyzer has been with Lucene for a long time now, including 2.x versions (see its entry in the 2.4.1 API docs).
Bizarrely, though, it doesn't come as part of the standard Lucene distribution, even if it is in the documentation. You'll have to hunt down a version of the contrib package that is to be used for 2.3.1.
Edit: Looks like there's a copy here.
The PorterStemFilter is in the lucene core. It can be used with the StandardAnalyzer for english stemming.
Various companies also sell more sophisticated and/or speedier alternatives to Porter Stemmers implemented in a Snowball interpreter. If you have needs in that direction, post a comment and I'll elaborate, but I don't want to get accused of unjustified advertising, so I'll leave it there for now.
You can use lucene-2.3.1.zip or its neighboring files in the Lucene archive. I am unsure, however, about the degree of customization available from GAELucene. It does not appear to be open to accept arbitrary analyzers.

I am trying to integrate S3 with one of my content management systems. The idea is that I want to have document control features.
The system is quite unique in that it handles thousands of sites, then each site can have any number of contributors or authors who have permission to upload documents and files to the document control module of the site.
I haven't coded the document control module yet, but I would like to get started right away.
I know there are good developer tools for S3 already, however I would really like to make this even easier and even use third party open source products if they are licensable under resale.
Does anyone know of any kind of Java apps for example which makes uploading to S3 easy, or should I just concentrate on developing something which is targetted for my specific case usages.
I do a lot of interface design, but for this, I am really not sure how I should handle it, so I would be grateful also if people could provide examples of websites which have good support for document control and makes it look easy. I don't want something complicated which crazily complex workflow rules, I just want to create something so that site owners can publish documents, images etc. Manage the versions of them and also have a centralised bucket for adding site themes are images.
Here's a good PHP class to get you started with uploading files and managing buckets - http://undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class
For java jets3t is the best I hav found: https://jets3t.dev.java.net/
I've used their packaged software and the libs in my own apps and both work very well.
