+1 form my side. As said before some parts
should be worked into uimaj-core directly
(e.g. injection of configuration into AEs).
Beside that it will be a good chance for UIMA to
attract new contributors.

Hello all,
this is in my opinion great news for the UIMA community!
uimaFIT is a great project with a huge code and user base so I look forward
to see it land in Apache UIMA.
For the code contribution, as far as I can understand, an IP clearance [1]
may be needed.
Cheers,
Tommaso

Hello everybody,
we would like to propose the contribution of uimaFIT to Apache UIMA.
uimaFIT provides an API that facilitates using UIMA embedded in other Java
code, which is also helpful for unit tests. It also provides context
injection features such as annotations on class member fields which in UIMA
component which are initialized from the UIMA context.
uimaFIT already is a proven product on its own and has an established user
base (cf. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]). But we think that having
uimaFIT hosted with Apache UIMA would allow and encourage more people to
use it and we could get more feedback that can be used to further improve
uimaFIT.
It has been quite some time that we last talked about uimaFIT. Since then,
I did another iteration over the documentation of uimaFIT in its wiki. I
don't claim it to be perfect, but I think it is more ordered now and
contains less duplicate information. Also, I finally see a possibility
time-wise to address whatever work may be necessary in the contribution
process.
We only have a rough idea about the process and its requirements. If you
are interested, I'd be happy to talk about it.
Best regards,
-- Richard
