Unfortunately that is true. The current PEAR runtime does not provide this functionality. It will be some effort to implement this. The current PEAR runtime implementation provides just the possibility to run an installed PEAR file out-of-the-box within UIMA. > PEARs are very likely to be used by a lot of unexperienced users, so I > hope that there is another way that does not violate a PEAR's > "black-box" property. Not so far, but we will be happy if you would join the developers community and help implementing this :-) That seems to be a little bit tricky, but I think doable. -- Michael
