can't intuit meaning of copyFromArray and copyToArray methods on FSArray
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: UIMA-2379
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2379
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Java Framework
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Mike Barborak
Priority: Minor
Regarding this method on org.apache.uima.jcas.cas.FSArray:
public void copyFromArray(String[] src, int srcOffset, int destOffset, int
length)
I read in the 2.3.0 documentation, "Description copied from interface:
CommonArrayFS. Copy the contents of an external string array into this array.
The strings are parsed and converted to floats."
This seems incorrect.
It also does not seem informative enough. If I have a feature that is an
FSArray of feature structures, what does it mean to copy from an array of
strings?
Related is what it means to copy such an FSArray of feature structures to an
array of strings. Is there some contract implied here?
