The 2.3.0-incubating binary release of uima-as is packaged an "add-on"
and you need to download base uima binary release, and unzip the uima-as
over that base release. This does things like combine example files and
directories, libs, etc.
We did this because of concerns about the size of the UIMA-AS package.
I think it is not a friendly way to package this, and because we intend
(at least for now) to have the uima-as add-on version track the base
version, I'd like to reconsider this. My preference is to have the
uima-as binary distribution include the base UIMA distribution.
It would be nice to have a runtime distribution which only
ships the minimal artifacts necessary to run a uima as
service. That could of course also be just a folder in a
complete uima as distribution to separate these artifacts
from the others like documentation, eclipse plugins, etc.
