             Summary: Adding a method to the CAS Editor that selects 
Annotations without scrolling to them
                 Key: UIMA-3946
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3946
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: CasEditor
            Reporter: Markus Krug
            Priority: Minor


While creating a view for the UIMA Cas Editor i came to the problem where i had 
to select a bunch of Annotations one after another. The main issue is that the 
person working with this view should be allowed to read the whole text. Now 
since the CAS Editor is always jumping directly to the selected Annotation its 
alot harder to keep track of where the last bit of text was you were reading.

So adding a method that just selects the next Annotation without direclty 
jumping to it would be a nice feature.

At the moment there is this method
 "protected void selectAndReveal(int selectionStart, int selectionLength, int 
revealStart, int revealLength)" which would provide me with all i need ( i 
guess), however it is located in org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor
and is protected.

Thanks in advance Markus Krug
