Alexandre Patry commented on UIMA-3303:
---------------------------------------
That is an excellent idea and I just pushed it. I modified the syntax a little
bit:
{noformat}
IMPORT PACKAGE * FROM typesytem AS alias;
{noformat}
> Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")

> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ruta
> Reporter: Alexandre Patry
> Assignee: 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.
