Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-4299:
--------------------------------------------------
I have the impression the changes may not even be source compatible. E.g. the
line
{noformat}
Iterator<FSIndex<FeatureStructure>> indexes =
aSrcCasView.getIndexRepository().getIndexes();
{noformat}
gives me a compiler error in Eclipse now:
{noformat}
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Iterator<FSIndex<? extends
FeatureStructure>> to Iterator<FSIndex<FeatureStructure>>
{noformat}
> improve generics for UIMA indexes and iterators

> Key: UIMA-4299
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-4299
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0SDK
> Reporter: Marshall Schor
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.7.1SDK
>
>
> When the JCas is being used, there are Java classes for UIMA types.
> Each index definition is associated with a top-most type in the type
> hierarchy.
> Indexes are used to create iterators of various kinds; some of these
> iterators are defined within classes which implement Iterable.
> Add generic mechanisms to the Indexes and iterators to support Iterables
> whose elements are JCas types.
> Update the APIs that get indexes over particular types to allow specifying
> those types by the type class, and use this for generic typing, so casts are
> not necessary for user code.
> Make the generics work also when JCas is not in use.
