I got it to work with the following:
ExternalResourceDescription myDict = createExternalResourceDescription(
CompiledDictionaryResource_impl.class,
"file:dictionary.dic");
AnalysisEngineDescription sentimentMapper = createEngineDescription(
ConceptMapperBM.class,
ConceptMapperBM.PARAM_DICT_FILE, myDict,
ConceptMapperBM.PARAM_ANNOTATION_NAME,
Sentiment.class.getCanonicalName(),
<lots of other parameters because too many are mandatory>
);
Apparently no explicit binding is necessary...

It largely depends on how you use the ConceptMapper. External resources require
three things to work:
1) an external resource description
2) a declaration on the analysis engine that it accepts an external resource (a
dependency)
3) a binding binding between the two
Since the ConceptMapper is not an uimaFIT component, i.e. it is not using the
@ExternalResource annotation, uimaFIT cannot create 1 automatically. So you can
create it manually using createDependencyAndBind(), which performs steps 2
(using the createDependency() call) and 3 (using a bindResource() call). Of
course, you can also manually call createDependency() and bindResource()
separately - which I think you were asking for.
If just pass the external resource description to the createEngineDescription()
call, it only does 3, but not 2 - this approach only works if the AE you create
the descriptor for uses the @ExternalResource annotation to declare external
resources.

Ok, I guess I don't actually need to do that, ConceptMapper only looks for the
"key" and doesn't seem to know about the indirect binding, right?
And in uimaFIT if I want to bind the same resource to several AEs I use
createExternalResourceDescription() and then just pass it like any other
parameter to createEngineDescription()?

Hi, I'm trying to run ConceptMapper from uimaFIT, but
createDependencyAndBind doesn't seem to allow to separate declaring the
external resource (with a "name") and binding that "name" to a "key". I
looked through ExternalResourceFactory but didn't find any method that
seems to obviously do what I need. What should I do?
Btw, I updated ConceptMapper to be based on JCasAnnotator_ImplBase
instead of Annotator_ImplBase and TextAnnotator (both deprecated).
