-------------------------------------
Sounds good, I will just try it out and report back here.
> Add support for external resources hosted on an http server

> Key: UIMA-1969
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1969
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Affects Versions: 2.3.1SDK
> Reporter: Jörn Kottmann
>
> Currently external resources for an Analysis Engine can only be loaded from
> the file system. This is useful
> for many use cases in which the resources are almost static and rarely
> change. In our scenario the resources
> are updated frequently and hosted on a central server. The server could
> expose a file system over the network
> via NFS or windows file sharing, but it seems to be more intuitiv and easier
> to just distribute the resources via http.
> In order to do that the resource loading must be extended to also support
> resource which are available via
> http. It seems that the current code for the file URLs can be easily extended
> to also allow http resources.
> According to the documentation it uses URL.openStream and forbids http URLs
> which would be supported
> by that method.
