You can use uimaFIT factories for testing without using annotations and without
introducing a runtime dependency on uimaFIT.
You can use uimaFIT annotations and uimaFIT's context injection helper and
still instantiate or run components in any manner you like. Your code will not
notice the presence of uimaFIT at all. However, it becomes a runtime-dependency
in this case. Since uimaFIT is licensed under Apache 2.0, it should be
compatible with UIMA/UIMA-AS at that point.
Does this address your concerns?
Yes mostly, but I still believe that we should have support for
defining the configuration parameters and optionally injecting the
values inside the framework itself.
