Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-6152:
--------------------------------------
Wondering what makes best sense for "whitespace"? Some possibilities:
* Character.isWhitespace(some_string.charAt(c)) - handles lots of variants,
but doesn't handle supplementary chars.
* Character.isWhitespace(some_string.codePointAt(some_offset)) - handles also
the supplementary chars
I'm thinking the 2nd would be best?
> "trim" method for AnnotationFS

> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Minor

> Usually leading or trailing whitespace is not helpful in text annotations.
> Thus, it would be nice to have a `trim()` convenience method on AnnotationFS
> which increases/decreases begin/end such that leading/trailing whitespace is
> removed from the annotation.
