The introduction of multiples views per CAS was initially implemented using the

In v2 the entire TextAnalysisEngine interface is deprecated. The TCAS no longer
serves a
useful purpose. Since Apache UIMA requires some source code changes,
now is a good
time to eliminate the TCAS. Migration for almost all user code would
be to replace TCAS with
CAS and getTCAS() with getView(). This change has already been applied to the
upcoming
uima C++ code.
+1. This migration is two easy search-and-replace operations (at a
time when other replacements are also needed), and this results in a
substantial simplification.
