[jira] [Created] (UIMA-3303) Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")

[Alexandre Patry (JIRA)]

Alexandre Patry created UIMA-3303:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS 
alias")
                 Key: UIMA-3303
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3303
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ruta
            Reporter: Alexandre Patry


It would be convenient to define type aliases in RUTA script.

One scenario where it would help is when many types have the same short name:

{{
IMPORT com.example.a.T AS TA}
IMPORT com.example.b.T AS TB}
}}

For a discussion about it, see UIMA-3292.
