Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-1524:
--------------------------------------------------
uimaFIT has a range of functions to access the JCas in a type-safe way in
JCasUtil. Would it be sensible to move these directly into the JCas API?
Corresponding functions are also available for CAS.
Cf. https://uima.apache.org/d/uimafit-current/tools.uimafit.book.html#d5e216
> JFSIndexRepository should be enhanced with new generic methods
