I am not sure if JAWS can be used to measure similarity between the words.

Answer 2

Download wordnet from http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/download/current-version/

Put it's contents in this directory: C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\

Added the jar file: edu.mit.jwi_2.1.4.jar and edu.sussex.nlp.jws.beta.11.jar.

Downloaded this file? http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Data/WordNet-InfoContent-2.1.tar.gz

Extract it and copy into C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1 (ie inside 2.1 folder)
