Generate static fields for type names and feature names in JCas wrappers
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: UIMA-2147
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2147
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Java Framework
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
            Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho


It would be convient if the JCas wrapper generator would create static final 
String fields for feature names and for the type name, e.g.

public static final String TYPE_NAME = "my.jcastypes.Type";

public static final String FEAT_BEGIN = "begin";

This would allow cleaner programming with JCas wrappers in cases where the 
names are required. In particular it would allow to detect certain errors at 
compile-time and facilitate refactoring.
