Alexandre Patry commented on UIMA-3303:
---------------------------------------
I finally had the time to push some code :)
ruta-core now supports the following grammar when running in strict mode :
{noformat}
import := "IMPORT" (all|package|type) ("FROM" source)? (AS alias)?
all := "*" // Allows import with long names
package := "PACKAGE" <package name> // Allows imports with short names
type := <type name> // Allows imports of single types
source := qualifiedClasspathSource
qualifiedClasspathSource := <org.apache.uima.types.MyTypes>
alias := <package alias (prefix) or type alias (alternative type name)>
{noformat}
Unit tests are in {{org.apache.uima.ruta.ImportStatementsTest}} and I will
update the manual later this week.
> Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")

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