We use maven for our UIMA-AS projects. Here is the build section from our
standard POM entries:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/desc/</directory>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources/</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
This adds the desc and resources directories as source directories that allow
you to resolve the import of descriptors by name.
