Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-3303:
-----------------------------------
Hmm, should an alias be supported for all "*" as a shortcut for all packages?
Something like:
{noformat}
IMPORT * FROM org.apache.uima.ruta.ImportStatementsTestTypeSystem AS t1;
{noformat}
I do not know if its really needed, I just stumbled over it.
> 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.
