> jcasgen Maven plugin: add option to exclude generating for imported types
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: UIMA-2958
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2958
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jcasgen-maven-plugin
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Assignee: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Fix For: 2.4.1SDK
>
>
> Add an option, perhaps something like <skipGenerationForImportedTypes>, which
> if true (not the default) would only generate those types which were defined
> directly (that is, not via an import) in the set of type system descriptors
> specified as input for this plugin.
> Rationale from UIMA-1176
> {quote}
> Our project reuses a common type system that we got from a different source.
> The common type system descriptor is imported into our main type system
> descriptor. The common type system has its own JCas types, in a jar file.
> When we generate JCas types for our main type system descriptor, it currently
> generates all of the classes for all of the imported type systems as well. We
> don't want this behavior, so we have to manually go through and delete those
> classes.
> I think JCasGen should only generate types for the type system descriptor
> that you run it on, not on imported type system descriptors.
> {quote}
> One way to solve it as described in UIMA-2471
> {quote}
> Jg.main0 takes an array of string arguments. To make JCasGen limit the cover
> classes it generates to just those whose type definitions are contained in
> some directory (at any sub directory level), you pass 2 additional arguments
> in this array:
> 1) "-limitToDirectory" and then following that
> 2) the path to some directory. Currently this is typically set to a
> containing Eclipse project directory, for example, when JCasGen is called
> from the Component Descriptor Editor
