I am working with UIMA-Alpha02 and am currently trying to build a jar to make a standalone application. (not pear because we want our users to have just the JDK and not require ecilpse or UIMA) In many cases we use maven to build and package the jar and it runs fine. Other times the jar is broken so that the pipeline will always fail with this stacktrace: 2017-08-17 14:53:54 [ERROR] DeidRunnerController.203: Throwing java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null at com.clinacuity.deid.ae.FileSystemCollectionReader.getNext(FileSystemCollectionReader.java:105) ~[deid-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:?] at com.clinacuity.deid.ae.DeidPipeline.execute(DeidPipeline.java:109) ~[deid-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:?] at com.clinacuity.deid.gui.DeidPipelineTask.call(DeidPipelineTask.java:41) ~[deid-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:?] at com.clinacuity.deid.gui.DeidPipelineTask.call(DeidPipelineTask.java:9) ~[deid-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:?] at javafx.concurrent.Task$TaskCallable.call(Task.java:1423) ~[jfxrt.jar:?] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) ~[?:1.8.0_121] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) ~[?:1.8.0_121] Caused by: org.apache.uima.cas.CASRuntimeException: A JCas class field "documentType" is being initialized by non-framework (user) code before Type System Commit for a type system with a corresponding type.

I logged the JCas type system before this error occurs with this command: jCas.getTypeSystem(), when it *passes* it shows the type system as this: TypeSystem: Type System <2,016,464,189>:

is an external library built on top of UIMA, we used the UIMA 3 migration tool to modify the type system of cTakes (with the <Optional> bug fixed that was in UIMA 3 in the spring). Is anyone familiar with any issues with UIMA 3, maven, or jars that would cause a race condition that occurs only on build? I'm really scratching my head on this one. I can provide more code related to creating the TypeSystemDescription, the FileSystemCollectionReader, and the DocumentInformationAnnotation if needed. Thanks, Andrew
