Yes, but I think the analysis engine builds upon uimaFIT then, so
TextMArker would actively using the library. My knowledge about
uimaFIT is yet minimal. I will see if that's the case when I actually
implement it.
As far as I understand uimaFIT does mainly two different things. It can
help an Analysis Engine implementation
to easier access configuration parameters by injecting these, when you
use this feature AEs can be used just as any other UIMA AEs.
The second feature is a set of utils to instantiate UIMA components
without xml descriptors, this is especially useful for testing,
and as far as I know it is used by the UIMA-AS unit tests.
In my opinion UIMA itself should support injecting of configuration
parameters into AEs, because that simply is a feature
which can be done better when it is done by the framework.
