Hi Frank, We are planning to release uimacpp along with the uima-as sandbox release. If you've followed the commits on uimacpp, they have all been associated with the XMI serializer and other small changes to support the native C++ uima-as service wrapper. Given no demand for an official uimacpp release, we've been working on uima-as, knowing that it would also fix the biggest problems we've seen with uimacpp, all related to running inside a Java process. The uima-as interface has much better life cycle management and even provides JMX monitoring for C++ annotators. All this with less complexity than the JNI interface. The only functional changes planned for the uimacpp release are to move the native service wrapper to the uimacpp tree and add a little more documentation to cover it. Any suggestions or content the community is willing to make to uimacpp would be very welcome. Best, Eddie
