That's exactly what I was looking for. So if I create my own environment variable (UIMA_LIB) pointing to a folder with all the UIMA jars, I need only point the package to that variable and it gets all the jars without me assigning each one separately. Is that correct?

The way Jay did by adding UIMA jars one by one in the Library Tab is "one way" to solve the missing classes/jars problem. But, it is only applied for the project that has the problem. You will "repeat" the same steps again and again to solve the same problem for other projects. The "better way" is to create a "User Library" (as mentioned by Tomasso), called for example UIMA_LIB (I prefer to use "different" name than UIMA_HOME). When you need UIMA jars in any project, you add UIMA_LIB as a library (so you save the steps to pick UIMA jars one by one). If you expect to use UIMA jars in an Eclipse "plug-in" project, you will need to add UIMA's runtime plug-in as a dependency to your plug-in project. -- Tong
