Hi,

The current level of the base UIMA distribution is 2.4.0.

The page:
http://uima.apache.org/doc-uima-examples.html

is a "getting started" guide to installing and then running the examples.

Dear list,

I am new to UIMA as well as to Eclipse.

I have been having difficulty in installing the UIMA SDK as well as the
Eclipse plugins.

The documentation asks that I download and install the UIMA SDK. When I
download that folder, I do not see a means of installing anything inside of
it.

You should visit the download page, and then download the UIMA Java framework & SDK:  click on the "zip" link under the "Binary" column:



When I use the Eclipse update route, I get only the run time tools, 

Yes, that's all that gets installed - these are just the Eclipse tools.
but
those don't seem to work. For example when I open a new AE in Eclipse and
give it a name for the parent folder 'test' I get an error icon with no
details. 

The new AE action is to create a new file which is a UIMA Analysis Engine descriptor.  This file needs to be in a "parent" directory folder.  Since you're new to Eclipse, I suggest you first spend some time learning the basics of how to use Eclipse.  There are books you can get, as well as lots of online help, etc. from Eclipse.

The normal way people create a new AE is to first create a new Eclipse project, which will hold the files.  Then they "right-click" the folder (or the Eclipse project root folder) and select the action to create a new UIMA AE.  When you do that, the "parent folder" is filled in automatically, to be the folder that was selected.

Since I am following the steps in the user's guide, I don' t see
what is incorrect, other than the install.

I can use any help that I can get.

BTW: is there a way to be sure that I have the most up to date
documentation?

You can read the latest docs online, at http://uima.apache.org/documentation.html

Best,
Leonard
