Hello all,
I have a question on how you deal with a specific use case and would like to
know if you have some suggestions for me.
I use Maven for all my Java projects and so I do for my UIMA related projects.
Now I have a quite large pipeline with lots of descriptors. They reside in (or
subdirectories of) the 'desc' directory of the 'UIMA nature' structure.
Currently I am about to pack these single-AE descriptors into aggregates. For
importing all single-AEs into the AAE descriptor, I would like to use "import
by name". However, the 'desc' directory is not a library for eclipse and thus,
the AAE descriptor editor doesn't list the descriptors residing in this
directory - I can't add them (and when I edit the XML, I get error messages
about descriptors not found).
I would like to just add the 'desc' directory to the build path as an "class
folder" (not a source folder, this won't work), i.e. as a library. When I do
this manually, Maven would overwrite it the next time it updates my project
configuration.
Have you any ideas here? Do you use 'import by name' for your PEARS? Do you
just live with the error messages and edit the XML directly?
Just would like to know how you do it - and if anyone knows a way to tell maven
that 'desc' should be a library, I'd be glad :-)
Best regards,
Erik
