It think it should not be difficult, and I suspect others have done this using the felix bundle builder mechanism. However, I'm too busy with other things to do this (at least for this release). I did create a simple Java program which Jar's together all of the source code in a user's UIMA_HOME source directory structure, including the Eclipse sources. So, unless I hear objections, I'll add that to the set of tooling, and update the docs. -Marshall > (BTW, I never try to create the "source" plugin). > > -- Tong > >
