ok, here's my mistakes, and some questions. 1) I didn't read the manual :-) (of course, most users won't, either)
2) I looked at all of the menu picks across the top, especially under "Edit", but didn't find any way to switch which annotation is being shown. (I didn't think to right click in the editor window). 3) I speed-read the first part of the manual, and discovered I was supposed to right click in the window and switch the annotation that was being shown. 4) I expected that picking a type in that window would show all annotations of that type, including subtypes - but it excludes the subtype, it seems. So for the type "Annotation" (of which Room Number is a subtype - nothing is shown. 5) I wonder about the lack of namespaces in the pick list. This would make it difficult if there were multiple types, in different namespaces, to pick the one you might want. 6) The menu identifier "Mode" didn't suggest to me that this was where to select which annotation(s) were going to be shown. 7) The overall editor name that appears when you go to a file in the package explorer and right click and do "Open with" and there you see "Annotation Editor" - when I first saw this I wondered if it was the CAS Editor, or maybe some other plugin that had been installed, that was providing a way to look at Java @annotations ... Maybe a better name is "UIMA XMI Editor" if it edits only xmi - style CASes, or "UIMA CAS Editor" if it edits multiple kinds. 8) Is there a way to view more than one type of annotation at a time? 9) Is there a way to view feature structures that are not subtypes of "Annotation" (that is, have no references back into the text)? -Marshall On 4/8/2011 7:05 AM, Jörn Kottmann wrote: > On 4/8/11 12:41 PM, Marshall Schor wrote: >> I was running with the official release 2.3.1 version installed from the >> uima/eclipse-update-site. >> >> Is that one broken? -M > > No, it should not.
