Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-3303:
-----------------------------------
Another scenario, especially if many types need to be imported, could be:
{noformat}
IMPORT com.example.TypeSystem AS prefix;
{noformat}
... where the prefix is maybe something like an alias or shortcut for the
namespace. Then, the types of TypeSystem could be used with the short name and
prefix:
{noformat}
prefix.Type{-> Stuff};
{noformat}
> Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")

> 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.
