Hi Matthias - It's a good question. When using the JCas, for each UIMA Type, there is generated a corresponding Java Class; this class is called the "cover class" for the corresponding UIMA Type.
So, if you declare a UIMA Type having the name mypackage.Sentence, there will be a corresponding JCas cover class whose fully qualified name is mypackage.Sentence. -Marshall Matthias Muehlhausen wrote: > Hello, > > I read about 'cover classes' in the JCas Java Doc, but can't find a > definition of that term, could anybody explain what cover classes are? > > Thanks, > Matthias >
