Thanks for any help.
As far as I know there are no Cas Editor issues which are linked to
eclipse 3.6 or 3.7,
but there are a couple of bugs in the 2.3.1 version of the Cas Editor,
which really shouldn't be there:
- The document import wizard doesn't work correctly
- And a bug was fixed where saving a CAS could fail
- The shift + enter annotate action could fail when there are many types
in the ts
I suggest that you use the trunk version. A coworker of mine just started
to use it yesterday to annotate a couple of texts and we already identified
a few more bugs and smaller issues which I will fix in the coming days.
To use the head version, you should build it with maven and
then simply copy over the runtime, caseditor and caseditor.ide jar
files into you eclipse dropins folder.
After that is done you likely need to start eclipse with the -clean flag.
I tested that yesterday and noticed that this does not work when the
2.3.1 plugins
are still installed. We removed them via the eclipse about dialog and
then restarted with the
clean flag and everything was fine.
Also make sure to switch to the Cas Editor Perspective and to set a type
system.
To set a type system go into the projects property dialog and then to
the UIMA Type System tab.
Its defaulting to TypeSystem.xml at the root of your project.
Any comments, suggestions, or bug reports are very welcome.
Hope this helps,
Jörn
