Summary: Donation of uimaFIT

URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2470
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Task
Components: Sandbox
Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
Donation of uimaFIT.
uimaFIT provides Java annotations for describing UIMA components which can be
used to directly describe the UIMA components in Java code without the need for
traditional UIMA XML descriptors. This greatly simplifies refactoring a
component definition (e.g., changing a configuration parameter name). uimaFIT
also makes it easy to instantiate UIMA components without using XML descriptor
files by providing convenient factory methods. This makes uimaFIT an ideal
library for testing UIMA components because the component can be easily
instantiated and invoked without requiring a descriptor file to be created
first. uimaFIT is very useful in research environments in which
programmatic/dynamic instantiation of UIMA pipelines can simplify
experimentation. For example, when performing 10-fold cross-validation across a
number of experimental conditions, it can be quite laborious to create a
different set of descriptor files for each run, or even a script which
generates such descriptor files. uimaFIT is type system agnostic and does not
depend on (or provide) a specific type system.
