Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6160:
--------------------------------------------------
I am not sure if having exceptions is necessary even as long as the
documentation explains the behavior. Probably I'd not throw exceptions. After
all `startAt(x, MAX_VALUE)` is a valid call even if priorities are enabled.
> Single int arg version of select.startAt()?

> Key: UIMA-6160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6160
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: UIMA
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1SDK
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Major
>
> If one wants to start looking for a particular annotation at a given
> character position, then I think it would be convenient to be able to say
> "select(Token.class).startAt(offset)", instead of having to say
> "select(Token.class).startAt(offset, offset)".
> What is not clear to me from reading the documentation is whether a Token
> which *ends* at offset would be returned or not.
> Another special case which is not clear by the documentation is whether a
> Token which *starts and ends* at offset would be returned.
