Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-3303:
--------------------------------------------------
Your suggestion implies that a type system is addressed by the import
statement, while the initial suggestion appears to assume that type systems are
imported by some other mechanism (e.g. uimaFIT type system detection) and then
only certain types from these automatically imported type systems are made
available in the script. How about this:
{noformat}
IMPORT * FROM <typesystemfile> AS <prefix> -- make all the types from
typesystemfile available using prefix
IMPORT FROM <typesystemfile> AS <prefix> -- shorthand for command above
IMPORT <package>.* FROM <typesystemfile> AS <prefix> -- make package from
typesystemfile available using prefix
IMPORT <package>.<type> FROM <typesystemfile> AS <alias> -- make the specified
type from typesystemfile available as the given alias
IMPORT <package>.* AS <prefix> -- make the specified automatically detected
types in the specified package available as the given alias
IMPORT <package>.<type> AS <alias> -- make the specified automatically detected
type available as the given alias
{noformat}
> Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")

> 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.
