Hello,
I would likte to move the CAS viewing and editing part out of the
Cas Editor into a new plugin to make this part reusable in external
applications which want to view and edit a CAS. To make
this possible an API for opening CAS based eclipse editors
will be defined.
The viewing and editing part can then also be used directly
from eclipse. To achieve this I suggest that we build a uima
development tools plugin which uses the new API
for opening a CAS based editor. The UDT plugin can be extended
to contain other functionality like launch support for AEs, log viewers,
etc.
The UDT plugin could use code from the CAS Viewer. Depending
on how we continue with the CAS Viewer the viewing part will be put
into a new plugin (Level-1 sharing) or merged with the CAS Editor
(Level-2 sharing).
