Hi Marshall,

Thank you for your answer!
Could you also tell what the also generated *_Type files are for? Are they also called 'cover classes'?

Thank you
Matthias

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.

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
