Classifying text using LingPipe

To classify text, we will use the DynamicLMClassifier class' classify method.
We will demonstrate its use with two different text sequences:

• forSale : The first is from http://www.homes.com/for-sale/ where we use the
first complete sentence
• martinLuther : The second is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Martin_Luther where we use the first sentence of the second paragraph

These strings are declared here:

String forSale =
"Finding a home for sale has never been "
+ "easier. With Homes.com, you can search new "
+ "homes, foreclosures, multi-family homes, "
+ "as well as condos and townhouses for sale. "
+ "You can even search our real estate agent "
