3) longer-term: need to come up with a proposal for better OSGi support, as the current one only works with Eclipse-buddy kinds of things (which is not official OSGi). This new support should be along the lines of enabling UIMA framework itself, and annotators, to be OSGi components, to be run within any one of a number of OSGi containers. Installation should be as easy as dropping a new annotator into a special spot in the file system:-) .
There exists a paper about UIMA and OSGi from IBM, not sure if everyone is aware of this, here is the link: http://domino.research.ibm.com/library/cyberdig.nsf/0/c77885d8151bed8d8525731c0067d980?OpenDocument And our wiki also has a page about this topic: https://cwiki.apache.org/UIMA/uima-osgi-enablement.html Jörn
