Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-1524:
--------------------------------------------------
For methods that take a type, three different signatures might be nice - if
that does not inflate the API too much:
* Type argument - CAS API
* Class argument - JCas API
* String argument - just nice to have e.g. to write less code in unit tests
The present uimaFIT API does not have the String option because it would mean
repeating most/all of the methods once again.
> JFSIndexRepository should be enhanced with new generic methods

> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework

> Existing methods should be overloaded with an additional Class argument to
> specify the exact return type. This changes make down casting of returned
> objects unnecessary.
