If this is a bit disappointing for me at this time, I am +1 for releasing without the OSGi stuff as I'm sure the discussions, testing and experimenting done so far on UIMA and OSGi will be useful for the future work on it. For Clerezza I'll exploit some of the experimenting done here and hopefully should be able to soon unlock the release of the UIMA integration. Regards, Tommaso > > -Marshall > >
