James posted the links to the API docs earlier, but I suspect you may find examples more helpful.
If you look at the classes under /ctakes-clinical-pipeline/org.apache.ctakes.clinicalpipeline.runtime, you will see how to instantiate the default pipelines from within UimaFit using the xml descriptors. You can override BagOfAnnotationsGenerator with your own extractInformation() method and do whatever you like for each annotation, or you can just copy the layout to do something you like. Alternatively, if you want to build your own pipelines programatically, I would look at some of the pipelines in the ctakes-temporal project: /ctakes-temporal/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/temporal/pipelines/TemporalExtractionPipeline_ImplBase.java if you aren't up to date on trunk (i.e. you are working off of a release), then look at the most recent version in svn: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ctakes/trunk/ctakes-temporal/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/temporal/pipelines/TemporalExtractionPipeline_ImplBase.java?view=markup Finally, there is work-in-progress to define factory methods for getting commonly used pipelines, not ready for primetime but may give you some more examples of how pipelines can be put together: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ctakes/trunk/ctakes-clinical-pipeline/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/clinicalpipeline/ClinicalPipelineFactory.java?view=markup Hope this helps.
