1) In the outline view - I expected to be able to click on instances of
RoomNumber and see the features, covered text etc., and maybe even edit the
features. But apparently you have to open another viewer - the "edit view" for
this. Maybe these two views could be combined?
The covered text is displayed to some degree, because space is limited,
didn't you notice it?
Sure it would be possible to combine these two views.
When I made it I put it into an extra view because then it can easily be
reused by some other
maybe even non-text kind Cas Editor implementation.
2) In the menu pick: Windows -> Show View -> Other -> there's a pick for "Cas
Editor". It might be good to prefix all our menus with UIMA - to avoid name
collisions in the future.
+1 to do that, is it an eclipse convention?
3) I see (on my system) in the pick list from Windows -> Show View -> Other ->
Cas Editor : two entries for "Edit viewer" ?
It really exists two times, because otherwise dragging feature
structures around is not possible.
Lets say FS a has a field which references FS b. Now you want to create
FS a and FS b, and then link
the field of FS a to b. For this you can now select FS a, lock it in one
of the two FS views and select FS b,
now you can simply drag b on the field of a.
Any ideas to make linking between FSes easier are very welcome.
In my opinion we should switch one day from the swing based tooling to
eclipse tooling,
I believe we have now most of the features we would need to make such a
switch.
As a first step we could deprecate the swing tooling and update our
tutorials
to the eclipse tooling.
