Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------------------
It might be worth introducing pseudo-type-safe variations of these methods:
{code}
SelectFSs<T> type(Type uimaType);
SelectFSs<T> type(String fullyQualifiedTypeName);
SelectFSs<T> type(int jcasClass_dot_type);
{code}
These additional methods should allow the user to specify a built-in JCas type
or CAS FS interface as boundary, e.g.
{code}
<NEW_TYPE> SelectFSs<NEW_TYPE> type(String fullyQualifiedTypeName,
Class<NEW_TYPE> aBoundingType);
{code}
Usage example:
{code}
cas.select().type("my.Token", AnnotationFS.class);
{code}
Otherwise we'd probably be casting a lot from FeatureStructure to AnnotationFS.
