Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-3303:
-----------------------------------
Another thought that is more related to UIMA-3533:
What if we import a type but not its parent type, or not the type of one of its
features? In the Workbench, this would lead to invalid type system
descriptions. I could automatically add those types, but this would then differ
how the inference handles the visibility of types. My first guess would be to
ignore them for now and see it will be a problem at all. At least we should
notice that there might be a problem.
Any ideas?
> 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.
