Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-2470:
--------------------------------------------------

The build.xml is an auxiliary build file located in the "script" folder and is 
used during release to stage the JavaDoc. It's called from the pom.xml at the 
root level. The ".DS_Store" files are OS X artifacts I'm afraid. They shouldn't 
be committed.

> 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.
