I think so. As for the DLTK plugins, maybe two plugins can remain, one
for core one for ui stuff. The TextRuler plugins should not merge
since they are really extensions with new functionality and
independent of each other. Right now you also need to knoe what you
are doing to use the framework at all. So it's not so interesting for
other users. Besides that we have here also two new rule learning
algorithms that work better with the rule engineering approach than
the well known algorithms and should maybe join the other extension
sometime.
I would even go further to join the DLTK ui and core plugins, or is
there a motivation not to do it?

There some really useful views for my use cases, e.g, selection
displays all annotations that cover the click position or the
annotation browser that has a field for filtering types. I often have
more than 20 overlapping annotations and more than 100 different types.
We can improve the existing Cas Editor views to handle this, maybe add a
new one to work with many overlapping
annotations.
Then there is the explanation component. Information about the rule
execution is stored in the cas and there are some special views that
display this information in a special manner. Other general views
should ignore these feature structures since there might be really
many of them. The CEV needs to be capable to open xmis of more then
200MB because of that. So an extension point for the definition of
ignored type would come handy.
That sounds more like a new view, which should not be part of the Cas
Editor itself. The Cas Editor
supports adding of new views which can visualize and change an aspect of
the CAS opened in the
editor.
I guess it will be easy for you to port these views to the Cas Editor.
It is actually very simple, an ICasEditor has
a method to retrieve an ICasDocument which can retrieve the CAS object,
and has a few method to track
changes done to the CAS.
If you create a new annotation, you need to call a method on the
ICasDocment to signal that to other views.
