As described in the documentation, you need to implement the Annotator interface, with a constructor taking parameters MyAnnotator(String, java.util.Properties), and then in the properties file you pass into CoreNLP, set a parameter

customAnnotatorClass.NAME=CLASS

For example:

customAnnotatorClass.myann=com.domain.package.MyAnnotator

Then, you can pass properties into the annotator by defining properties:

myann.myprop=myvalue
myann.otherprop=othervalue

These will show up in the Properties object passed into the constructor of the Annotator you created.

A good example of a small Annotator that can be used as a template for what a custom annotator should look like could be the Gender annotator.
