Hi,
We've developed a Java bridge to the perl WordNet similarity package
which can be found at http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/result/software.html
it can be a bit tricky to set up but once working allows you to use the
Perl libraries easily from Java. I'm currently in the middle of writing
a pure Java version of the similarity measures which should be a
drop-in-replacement for our existing package when it's finished.
Although as yet I don't know when that will be.
Hope that is of some help,
Mark
