Hi,
when writing the first analysis component for the UIMA sandbox I came to
the point where I have to provide a build for the component.
My first thought was to do this also with Maven but when trying to add
the pom.xml some incompatibilities came to my mind.
- To package a analysis component as pear file we have to use eclipse,
since we do not have a pear packager outside of eclipse. So users have
to use eclipse if they want to package an analysis component.
- To package the analysis component correctly we have to put the
resource and the code to the directories specified in the pear
description (UIMA nature) layout but this layout does not match the
Maven layout.
What do you think, how should be proceed.
1. Should we keep the UIMA nature layout for UIMA sandbox projects and
add a Maven build that has a different file structure than suggested by
Maven and used in the UIMA core framework.
2. Should we keep the UIMA nature layout for UIMA sandbox projects and
build it with an ant build?
other suggestions?
