Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-3303:
-----------------------------------
Yes, there are implications on the tooling. It's some work, but should be
doable. The descriptor generation functionality should be moved to ruta-core
since someone may want to use this also without the workbench. For type
completion and similar support, the implementation needs to be adapted. In the
worst case, we parse that in the parser of the workbench and then use that
information in the AST module to resolve the types somehow.
Can you explain the differences between Richards synatx and your syntax to me?
Sorry, I am a bit slow on the uptake.
Why the PACKAGE? If the typesystemfile is given, then I would assume that the
package within the type system is meant. And if there is no file given, then
let uimaFIT find it in the classpath.
> Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")

> 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:
> {noformat}
> IMPORT com.example.a.T AS TA
> IMPORT com.example.b.T AS TB
> {noformat}
> For a discussion about it, see UIMA-3292.
