Hi,
you can generate a type system descriptor in Java (there are Java objects
representing the type system descriptor). Then you can serialize
that to XML and pass it to the JCasGen programmatically, or possibly
pass the descriptor object directly to JCasGen (but I think that is not
supported right now).
This is a brief example how to create a type system descriptor in code:
// Create a new type system from scratch
TypeSystemDescription tsd = new TypeSystemDescription_impl();
TypeDescription tokenTypeDesc = tsd.addType("Token", "",
CAS.TYPE_NAME_ANNOTATION);
tokenTypeDesc.addFeature("length", "", CAS.TYPE_NAME_INTEGER);
