Error reading sentence
Hello,
I'm running into an error when pressing "Read Sentence" that I haven't been able to get past. I am using the latest version and JDK v18. The error is below:
"General error: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because the return value of "com.orange.labs.conllparser.ConllSentence.getText()" is null"
It appears that the CONLL-U file is being successfully loaded, because I am able to see the statistics when I click on the filename in the editor, but if I try to press any of the buttons below, I get the error.
I get the same error if there is no # text = line at the beginning of the sentence.
I was able to get this issue resolved by revising the formatting of the CONLL-U file that I was trying to load.
Great.
I noticed that Trankit does not write the # text = ... line when using the trankit2conllu() function.

It would be nice if ConlluEditor would be able to load the file nevertheless, maybe with the --relax switch. Looking at the GUI I don't see why the # text would be necessary, but of course that doesn't mean it is easy to do.
