Exploring NLP concepts using Apache OpenNLP

After looking at a lot of Java/JVM based NLP libraries listed on Awesome AI/ML/DL I decided to pick the Apache OpenNLP library. One of the reasons comes from the fact another developer (who had a look at it previously) recommended it. Besides, it's an Apache project, they have been great supporters of F/OSS Java projects for the last two decades or so (see Wikipedia). It also goes without saying that Apache OpenNLP is backed by the Apache 2.0 license. In my current research project, I experimented with @ApacheOpennlp and was delighed to see it's a valuable NLP toolkit with a user-friendly API.
