Hi, Marshall Schor: I am looking into implementing a new mode for the annotation viewer (for details please see the UIMA issue #3374). I do feel the new feature I am about to implement will be of great value and intend to contribute it back to the UIMA code base once I have successfully implemented it.
While going through the source code, I noticed that the code (more specifically, a class org.apache.uima.tools.viewer.CasAnnotationViewer in the SVN trunk) has not been significantly updated ever since its initial import on 11/02/2006. There is a feature called "entity mode" that is half-baked and disabled since it was not quite completed. It significantly complicated the code structure and made my implementation of the new view mode unnecessarily complicated as well. So, I am wondering if we should clean out the unused code so I can implement the new feature on a cleaner code base. If you can get hold of whoever that used to own this piece of code and get some of his/her opinion of it that would be great too. Thanks!
