We took advantage of breakage caused by the name space move to org.apache to make a few other changes, but otherwise UIMA has done a good job of preserving backwards compatibility all along. A simple way to think about UIMA-AS is that the core UIMA aggregate defines a CPE (note that collection readers, analysis engines and CAS consumers are all allowed in a UIMA aggregate), and UIMA-AS leverages asynchronous middleware (JMS implementations) to provide a flexible way of deploying UIMA aggregate components in order to achieve scale up.
