Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-2511:
--------------------------------------
Delete the generated types and re-running JCasGen works for me, if I define
"delete" as replace-with-one-blank in the CDE, or delete using the "source"
tab. So it seems we have a couple of errors on top of each other.
1) The first error: deleting a description in the CDE by deleting all the
characters doesn't work - it leaves things as they were.
2) The description changing is not enough to cause regeneration (there's a bit
in JCasGen which compares type systems to see if things changed, and only does
regeneration for changed types - I'm guessing this is where the fault may lie).
> JCasGen fails to update descriptions in JavaDoc

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
>
> When I update the description field of features in the Eclipse Component
> Descriptor editor and run JCasGen, most of the time the descriptions for the
> types are not updated in the generated JCas files. The "Updated by JCasGen"
> timestamp is updated, but the JavaDoc on the getters and setters is not
> updated most of the time. I even thought that generating JavaDoc on
> setters/getters wasn't supported until I actually looked at the JCasGen
> source code.
> Deleting the generated types and re-running JCasGen seems to help some times,
> but most of the time it just seems that it doesn't make a difference.
> E.g., I added "lala" as a description on a type feature and successfully
> generate the JCas with "lala" ending up in the getter/setter JavaDoc. Now I
> remove "lala" from the description (it's empty now), delete the JCas files
> from disk and rerun JCasGen. In the freshly generated files, "lala" is still
> there.
