Dear list, I need to use UIMA in a project, which uses a runtime platform (Apache Karaf [1]), which is based on an OSGi container (e.g., Apache Felix [2]).
Unfortunately, the artifacts on Maven Central (both uimaj-core and uimafit-core) are not OSGi bundles, nor they could be easily migrated to OSGi, because of the management of the class loader performed by OSGi. In [3] I found a thoughtful analysis of the problem, and an explanation of how the Clerezza project [4] managed to integrate UIMA [5]. I don't know the extent to the solution above is bound to Clerezza, or if the UIMA community has developed a general-purpose solution for the integration with OSGi.
