Hello all, would be nice if someone could try out this new Cas Editor feature, I guess its very handy tool during the development of AEs.

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.
