                 Key: UIMA-346
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-346
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Java Framework
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Adam Lally
            Priority: Minor


A user reports that it is difficult to debug a situation where developers have 
accidentally declared two resources with the same name.  UIMA currently logs a 
WARNING message in this case.

The severity could be increased to SEVERE.  Also we could add a "strict 
descriptor checking" mode (off by default) that throws an Exception in this 
case, and possibly other cases.  We probably shouldn't have this on by default 
since it could break existing applications that currently work.

Also our documentation should say that qualified names should be used for 
resources, e.g. org.myorg.myproj.myresource, to minimize the chance of 
accidental name clashes.
