I wasn't thinking of following that example. But I hope that there will be a 
way that for some time uimaFIT and Apache uimaFIT components can just 
peacefully coexist - even for people which cannot just recompile their 
codebase. Switching to the Apache version shouldn't involve much more than 
changing the dependency and doing a global "Organize Imports" I think. As I 
said, I'll dig into that.
