The last update with uimapy on Apache UIMA was that it had problems deserializing somewhat complex XmiCas examples.
The previous problem with jython was that it was backlevel relative to the needs of some python analytic code. Jython seems like the simplest integration, assuming it works. The Pythonnator requires a uimacpp runtime. More complicated, but perhaps a much faster python execution environment? Uimacpp fully supports XmiCas serialization methods.
