Thilo Goetz commented on UIMA-1177:
-----------------------------------
I agree that it should be off by default. I always turn it off, and it's quite
annoying when I forget. Sometimes I'm not using the JCas, so obviously I don't
want any JCas classes. Sometimes I'm importing both a type system and the JCas
classes from a central place, so again I don't want any local JCas classes. If
I remember correctly there are also issues in that if I change the package of a
type, the type JCas class in the old package is not deleted automatically (I'm
too lazy to start Eclipse and try this out). So all in all, I much prefer the
generation of JCas classes to happen under my control, and it would be great if
I didn't have to turn off the default for every new workspace (yes, I create
new workspaces on a regular basis). However, not a big deal, just a minor
annoyance.
> Consider making the default setting for "Auto Generate JCAS Java source
> files" be off.

> I think the default should be to not generate the JCAS source files when you
> save an Analysis Engine Descriptor. (I can see generating when you save a
> Type System Descriptor, maybe.) Our AE descriptors change far more
> frequently than our type system does, and it is disruptive to have all the
> type system classes regenerated all the time. My guess would be that most
> other people are also in this situation.
