Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-1887:
--------------------------------------
I wonder about the name "uimaj-ep-dev" - the first 2 parts are fine, but "dev"
sounds too general...
Also, I wonder if this functionality could be part of the cas editor plugin,
itself, rather than making a new plugin?

> Key: UIMA-1887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1887
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Eclipse plugins
> Reporter: Jörn Kottmann
>
> It should be possible to open a CAS files which are inside an eclipse java
> project (and not an eclipse CAS Editor project) with the CAS Editor.
> After a short discussion with Marshall (see comments below) the issue is
> changed and now includes the
> creation of an eclipse uima development plugin which will host the extension
> to the Cas Editor.
> Until this new plugin is mature is will be located in the sandbox and named
> uimaj-ep-dev.
> In this proposed solution the Development Plugin extends the CAS Editor with
> a Document Provider which can load a type system and styling information from
> a non Cas Editor project. The Development Plugin can assume that the type
> system file is
> placed in a certain location, for example at the top level of the project
> folder and is named TypeSystem.xml.
> Additionally the Development Plugin should offer a file dialog to specify the
> type system in case it cannot be found
> or is not compatible with the CAS the user wants to open.
> The Development Plugin also provides a new view to edit the styling of the
> annotations.
> The goal of this issue is to quickly create an initial solution which can
> then be refined
> by input from users and other uima developers.
