Thilo Goetz commented on UIMA-239:
----------------------------------
This should really be fixed properly if at all possible. It's super annoying
when tooling removes your carefully placed XML comments. One would imagine
that the Eclipse classes we use for reading and writing the XML support this.
> Tools like the CDE which use XML parsing should preserve XML comments;
> parsers should provide access to XML comments.

> Components: Core Java Framework, Tools

>
> An example of a problem which happens if this is not done: the descriptors
> that come with the UIMA toolkit have a comment that specifies the license
> information for that file. If you edit a descriptor containing such a comment
> with the CDE, it strips out all comments.
> An alternative for license info: add a new, optional element to the
> descriptor for specifying the license (but this might be ambigious as to
> what is being licensed - the descriptor file or what it refers to or ??? )
