Our annotators in our "addons" often package a "typical use" xml descriptor in

some thoughts on having some kind of separate "settings" file for complex sets
of annotators that can collect things together in one place, maybe as a
properties file - see:http://uima.markmail.org/thread/r2vrblnzkq4hdqnu )
An assembler might just want to read some documentation which explains
the existing
configuration parameters. If that is the point we can make a small tool
which turns
our configuration parameters in some kind of *readable* format (e.g. html).
This solution would solve the two issues, that the descriptor gets out
of sync and
that it must be duplicated all the time.
In my use cases I always create an AAE which contains a couple of AEs.
Is it possible
to import the AE descriptor from a jar and then override the parameter
settings in
the AAE?
