Cool! If you need anything, let me know! Happy to help :) As I said, I have not followed C++ development very closely, but I believe that there are new tools these days like cmake and also easier ways of integrating with Java like JavaCPP or maybe JNA. Over the years, the people I had talked with about UIMA C++, the feedback way generally that it was quite a rocky road. If we want to get into the Python game where people are used to simple "pip install" stuff, the road probably needs a good paving. Cheers, -- Richard
