Building DKPro Core against the RC, I get a compiler error:
With v3.0.2, JCasGen generated this code:
```
public FSArray getAttributes() { return
(FSArray)(_getFeatureValueNc(wrapGetIntCatchException(_FH_attributes)));}
```
and DKPro Core could/had to then cast the unspecific FSArray to
Iterable<FeatureStructure>:
```
for (FeatureStructure attrFS : (Iterable<FeatureStructure>)
aElement.getAttributes()) {
...
}
```
But with v3.0.3, JCasGen was changed to return specific types where possible
instead of an unspecified generic:
```
public FSArray<XmlAttribute> getAttributes() {
return
(FSArray<XmlAttribute>)(_getFeatureValueNc(wrapGetIntCatchException(_FH_attributes)));
}
```
This now causes the previously working type cast in DKPro Core to become a
compiler error:
```
[ERROR]
/Users/bluefire/git/dkpro-core/dkpro-core-api-xml-asl/src/main/java/org/dkpro/core/api/xml/Cas2SaxEvents.java:[67,95]
incompatible types:
org.apache.uima.jcas.cas.FSArray<org.dkpro.core.api.xml.type.XmlAttribute>
cannot be converted to java.lang.Iterable<org.apache.uima.cas.FeatureStructure>
```
I'd tend to say that the change to JCasGen is not a source-compatible change
and would warrant changing the version number to 3.1.0.
WDYT?
