Problem running methods in .jar files

There is a .jar file (https://github.com/ahmetaa/zemberek-nlp) called "zemberek" which is a Natural Language Processing tools for Turkish language.

I have downloaded 0.17.1 jar file and added to the path

>> cd(prefdir)
>> edit javaaddpath.txt

Added the jar file path to the text, saved, closed and restarted MATLAB.

Then I import tokenizer and listed the methods as follow

>> import zemberek.tokenization.TurkishTokenizer
>> methods TurkishTokenizer

Methods for class TurkishTokenizer:

builder            isTypeIgnored      
convert            notify             
convertType        notifyAll          
equals             toString           
getClass           tokenize           
getTokenIterator   tokenizeToStrings  
hashCode           wait               
isTypeAccepted     

>> 

however I cannot run any methods listed above.

>> TurkishTokenizer.tokenize("kalemlerim")
No method 'tokenize' with matching signature found for class 'zemberek.tokenization.TurkishTokenizer'.

Check whether or not the tokenize method of the TurkishTokenizer class is static (whether the Qualifiers column of the window opened by the following command lists "static")

methodsview zemberek.tokenization.TurkishTokenizer

If it's not it requires an instance of the class as input. From the examples in the Usage section on the GitHub page I believe it is not static. If that's the case try something like:

>> import zemberek.tokenization.TurkishTokenizer
>> TT = TurkishTokenizer.DEFAULT;
>> TT.tokenize("kalemlerim")
