Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-857:
-------------------------------------
Here's another way to start things with long classpaths, some of which you want
to be directories of jars, etc. Use Ant and its mechanisms to specify
classpaths; see http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#path , and then use ant
to call java either in the same process or in a new one.
We could add a sample uima-launch XML file that would show how to do this.
> Change startup of framework to support versioned Jars and simplified classpath

> Key: UIMA-857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-857
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build, Packaging and Test
> Reporter: Marshall Schor
> Priority: Minor
>
> Our approach to the framework classpath is to (a) strip version info from our
> Jar names, and (b) have a setUimaClassPath script that adds lots of these
> (unversioned) jars to the classpath.
> Other systems use a different approach - usually putting all the jars that
> should be in the classpath into a directory, and then having a small wrapper
> jar (with an unversioned name) that adds all the jars it finds in this dir to
> the classpath. (See for instance, ActiveMQ startup, or the way things like
> Tomcat work). Change UIMA to use this approach. (Not for 2.2.2, but for
> following release, perhaps).
