I did more investigation about the problem mentioned by Jörn. If the UIMA runtime plugin is NOT unzipped, its exported classes, for example Annotation class, are NOT visible to the projects in the Workspace.
It looks like we need to package the "org.apache.uima.runtime" runtime plugin as a folder (instead of as a Jar) since not all Eclipse's tools can handle Jar inside Jar. The following is the statement from the Eclipse Helps about the packaging: Whether the JARs should be zipped or unzipped depends on how you want to package the plug-in. If the plug-in is to be shipped as a single JAR - which is the recommended format as of Eclipse 3.1 - the individual JAR archives should be unzipped. If the plug-in is to be shipped as a flat directory, then the individual JAR archives should be left intact. -- Tong On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 9:19 PM, Tong Fin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jorn, > I did install the runtime plugin jar without unzipped and the CDE runs OK. > I am using Eclipse 3.3.1.1. > > The recommended way for "Jar(s) inside Jar plugin" is to unzipped as you > did to make it works.
