Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-2470:
--------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately I was delayed with progress on this
issue due to a broken mainboard.
I'd tend to agree with Joern that the changes should be done after adding the
code to the Apache repository. In that way the full transition history is
available in the SVN. I can provide the necessary patches then - it would a
good opportunity to get into the habit too.
I also had a quick poke at what changing the package names from org.uimafit to
org.apache.uima.uimafit - it's quite a major change after which several test
cases need to be revised. I'm also thinking how some
backwards-compatibility-layer could be introduced after such renaming, so that
an Apache uimaFIT can in some places make use of the current uimaFIT 1.4.0
annotations.

> 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.
