Having problem where seem to not be able to ADD analysis engines (AEs) in
piper files (as described in the docs:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/Piper+Files).

It seems like the main difference, looking at the first few lines of the
raw xmi of these AEs (in say google chrome) as compared to existing piper
files (eg. those in
$CTAKES_HOME/resources/org/apache/ctakes/examples/pipeline), is that the
AEs that can be added to a piper file have the <primitive> tag set to
"true" (while those AEs that throw an error wen added to a piper have these
tags as "false").

My question then is: what does this mean? How are these AEs ever to be used
in a piper file, then? Is there functionality expected to be subsumed in an
existing AE xmi file in the same directory or something (eg. how could I
use
the 
desc/ctakes-clinical-pipeline/desc/analysis_engine/AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor.xml
in a piper file)? Is there documentation that could explain this a bit
more? Thank you.
