```
    Reads in ACE*.apf.xml files and converts them to RelationSentence objects. Note that you probably should call parse() instead. Currently, this ignores document boundaries (the list returned will include sentences from all documents).
    
    Overrides:
    
    read in class GenericDataSetReader
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - directory containing ACE files to read (e.g. "/home/mcclosky/scr/data/ACE2005/english_test"). This can also be the path to a single file. *
    
    Returns:
    
    list of RelationSentence objects
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
    
    SAXException
    
    ParserConfigurationException
  - main
```
public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws IOException

    Throws:
    
    IOException
