This is the source code:

Your ArticleDocumentAnnotation probably belongs to a different
view or sofa or whatever the right terminology is, which doesn't
have a document text.
Should we update the javadoc and say that it returns null in case
there is no document text?
I will update the Cas Editor to handle this null case correctly.
