We could just change it, the OpenNLP type system is an example only
anyway since all types in the OpenNLP AEs can be mapped to a user type
system by descriptor configuration.

We are currently moving from the Julielab wrappers to the "official" UIMA integration. Given that the postag is now a (string) feature of the token, instead of an FSArray of PosTag annotations as in the Julielab version, this means we need to change our type system. As we're using OpenNLP for much of our base (sentence splitting, tokenization, POS tagging, and maybe chunking) we obviously looked at the provided type system to base our types on.

I think we'll just go ahead using our own types and thus avoiding the problem, but it would probably be best to fix the OpenNLP example TS. It might be a bit painful though for people who have already started using it, and might get problems if there are different definitions for the same type (opennlp.uima.Chunk).
