Jörn Kottmann commented on UIMA-1887:
-------------------------------------
2. Is now done.
1. Is half done, the dialog to choose a type system is still missing, and the
error handling still needs to be improved in case the type system is invalid
(e.g. invalid xml) or not compatible with the CAS.
> It should be possible to open a CAS file from a non Cas Editor project

> Key: UIMA-1887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1887
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: CasEditor
> Reporter: Jörn Kottmann
> Assignee: Jörn Kottmann
> Fix For: 2.3.1SDK
>
>
> 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 spending more time on the issue the plan how to implement it changed
> again.
> The previous idea of having an additional plugin for this functionality is
> dropped and the change is directly
> integrated into the Cas Editor plugin.
> There are two changes which must be performed for this issue:
> 1. The Document Provider is extended with a custom logic to open a CAS file
> from a non Cas Editor Project.
> Its assumed that the type system is placed in a certain location, if it
> cannot find in this location the
> user if prompted by a dialog to provide a valid type system for the CAS.
> This mechanism should be improved in the future to play nicely together with
> all other plugins wich also need
> access to a type system, like the description editors.
> 2.
> The UI to configure the annotation styles must be moved to the editor and
> away from the Cas Editor Project
> handling code. To accomplish this the Document Provider should be responsible
> for accessing/modifying
> the styling information. A new view is added to the editor which can display
> the styling information and
> gives access to the annotation property dialog to modify the styling.
> The styling information is shared between all editors type system wide, if
> the style is changed in one editor
> its changed in all other editors which display a CAS with the same type
> system.
> The goal of this issue is to create an initial solution which can then be
> refined
> by input from users and other uima developers.
