There will be a new testcase for the CPE to test running Pears inside a CPE. The test needs a Pear. So I made one by setting up another eclipse project "uimaj-pear-forTesting" which is a pear which does nothing, but references a JCas cover class.
In the uimaj-cpe project, I added a new resource under src/test/resources to be where I "installed" the pear, and then I installed the uimaj-pear-forTesting pear, there. I changed the two parts of the install which hard-coded the absolute path, to relative paths, and tested for Maven builds, - looks like it works fine. So - my question - I think I should check in the uimaj-pear-forTesting" project - so we have the source in case we want to alter/improve/fix this test pear someday. It's not needed to be built as part of the maven build. I'm thinking of just leaving it as a plain Eclipse project, and checking in the .project and .classpath files - that way, the "pear packager" tool will work (the project has the "UIMA nature"). Anyone have alternate / better suggestion? Cheers. -Marshall
