Since UIMA 2.2 we have integrated a PEAR runtime. When you have
installed a PEAR file using the PEAR installer a special PEAR descriptor
is created that can be added as analysis engine in the CPE GUI. You
never have to modify the classpath or datapath to run PEAR components.
For some more information about the PEAR runtime, please refer the the
UIMA reference documentation.

Hi everybody,
I have installed a couple of PEARs and wanted to run them with
cpeGui.sh. Unfortunately UIMA does not seem to automatically use the
UIMAClassLoader to fetch the classes from the jars indicated in the
setenv.txt files of the respective PEARs - or I just did something wrong.
When I change setUimaClassPath.sh to scan for the setenv.txt files and
concatenate the CLASSPATHs in them to a single big classpath, I can
use the AEs from the installed PEARs without a problem. On the
RASP4UIMA homepage I found a little note indicating that it is
necessary to manually add source setenv.txt from e.g. cpeGui.sh. Is
this really the intended way? I would really like not to have to worry
about setting up the classpath for UIMA.
Best regards,
Richard Eckart
