Actually I think Thilo is right. But now is the code already in the
sandbox and that the
Cas Viewer plugins are there is an accomplished fact. I do not like
the way this happend
either.
In my opinion we should leave it there and discuss now the issues
which arise
from this fact.
Maybe we should merge the the code and have one plugin for editing and
viewing a CAS.
I do not know. Eddie told us that its nicely complement the Cas
Editor. That sounds like
it would make sense to merge it and I am always happy if the Cas
Editor gets better.
I will review the Cas Viewer and then tell here what I think we can do.

We had no discussions on this. We have no plans how to merge
the CAS editor and the CAS viewer. There is quite a lot of
code there, and it is hardly documented. What are Tong's
plans with this when it becomes part of Apache UIMA? Will he
continue developing it? Will he work with Joern on the CAS
Editor?
Why didn't all of the committers know a software grant
was in the works? We'll never graduate out of the incubator
if we don't learn to do things the Apache way. Having mentors
that are awol most of the time doesn't help either, but we
really should know better than this by now ourselves.
The only reason I'm not voting -1 is because Joern didn't.
I hope he has some plan to make this work.
Good points. I think some of us messed up the process here, so,
let's cancel this vote, and start over...
Part of starting over will be to acknowledge and document some off-
list discussions about this and why they started off-list, and
summarize these on the dev-list. Another part of this will be to
discuss the proposed contribution, how it fits or doesn't with the
existing Cas Editor, what might be the possibilities for
integration, and, in general, what the way forward might look like,
over the longer term.
Finally, assuming the discussion proceeds to a point where it makes
some sense to have a vote, we will re-do a vote.

Tong Fin has attached the code and documentation for a Cas Viewer
Eclipse Plugin to a Jira issue http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/uima-1102
The documentation includes a table that compares the functionality
of this with other tooling (see the 4th attachment on the Jira
issue).
A software grant for this code has been received and recorded.
