I was testing the Cas Editor plugin, as a new naive user. There is nothing in the documentation that says to create one or more new projects, of a special type, for use by the Cas Editor - so I was trying to use a plain Java project, and of course, nothing was working.
Part of the problem is that the label for the Cas Editor things in Eclipse is "NLP". I did not recognize or associate that with either UIMA or the Cas Editor. (So, for instance, if you say in Eclipse, menu -> file -> new -> other you get a pick list with lots of things, including one labeled "NLP". Same with menu -> window - show view -> other same NLP entry.) I think we should rename this categorization tag to something that uses the words Uima, and CasEditor - maybe it should be a 2 level categorization, the top one being UIMA (which already exists, and is used by the Component Descriptor Editor), and a then "CasEditor". WDYT? (What do you think)? -Marshall
