Hi, and welcome to UIMA!
I would suggest following the README in doing the installation, and try
the installation verification steps.
Once that is working, it would be good to read chapter 2 in the intro
document, read Chapter 3 to be sure you get a good development
environment set up (I hope you're comfortable with Eclipse - that's
where the tooling is, and that's what the documentation is keyed to)
and then work through the first chapter in the tutorial - doing the
steps along side the document.
Also, do I have to do anything extra to be able to code in C++?
There is a version of the UIMA framework that supports C++, written in
C++. This framework inter-operates with the Java one, so it is possible
to have some components in Java and some in C++. The Apache version of
the C++ framework has not been officially released yet, but it is
buildable from the sources until we get it released; there are readmes
in the source that describe how to do this.
