  - ### downloadModel

    public static <T extends BaseModel> T downloadModel(String language, DownloadUtil.ModelType modelType, Class<T> type) throws IOException
    Triggers a download for the specified `DownloadUtil.ModelType`.
    Type Parameters:
      `T` - The generic type which is a subclass of `BaseModel`.
    Parameters:
      `language` - The ISO language code of the requested model.
      `modelType` - The `type` of model.
      `type` - The class of the resulting model.
    Returns:
      A model instance of type `DownloadUtil`.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - Thrown if IO errors occurred or the model is invalid.

  - ### downloadModel

    public static <T extends BaseModel> T downloadModel(URL url, Class<T> type) throws IOException
    Downloads a model from a `URL`.

    The model is saved to an `.opennlp/` directory located in the user's home directory. This directory will be created if it does not already exist. If a model to be downloaded already exists in that directory, the model will not be re-downloaded.

    Type Parameters:
      `T` - The generic type which is a subclass of `BaseModel`.
    Parameters:
      `url` - The model's `URL`.
      `type` - The class of the resulting model `DownloadUtil`.
    Returns:
      A model instance of type `DownloadUtil`.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - Thrown if the model cannot be downloaded.
