Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-5554:
--------------------------------------------------

Also, I find it a bit counter-intuitive that I cannot make use of the JCas 
classes in the `initialize()` method. The below triggers the error:

{noformat}
    @Override
    public void initialize(UimaContext aContext)
        throws ResourceInitializationException
    {
        super.initialize(aContext);
        
        mappings.put("h1", Heading.type);
        mappings.put("h2", Heading.type);
        mappings.put("h3", Heading.type);
        mappings.put("h4", Heading.type);
        mappings.put("h5", Heading.type);
        mappings.put("h6", Heading.type);
        mappings.put("p", Paragraph.type);
    }
{noformat}
