I could do that. But I intentionally would like to keep the IDE instance clear 
of the plugins that I am working on. I can already imagine myself spending 
hours trying to figure out why changes don't work out and finally finding that 
I was testing the plugin installed in the IDE and not the one from the 
workspace.

Well, before I would start any serious development efforts with PDE, I'd 
probably set up a platform definition file and clean set of Eclipse bundles 
anyway. I never liked inheriting bundles from the IDE very much. Since UIMA 
doesn't ship with a platform definition file, however, making a note of 
installing the EMF stuff should help potential contributors in getting started. 
Unless of course, you'd like to ship a platform definition ;)

Cheers,

Richard
