Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6152: -------------------------------------------------- In the past, I have made bad experiences with Guava in relation to backwards compatibility with itself. If we'd need a string manipulation library, I'd suggest going with Apache Commons Text. However, I don't see how such a library would come in here. This is not about string manipulation but about changing annotation offsets. > "trim" method for AnnotationFS > ------------------------------ > > Key: UIMA-6152 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6152 > Project: UIMA > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: UIMA > Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho > Priority: Minor > > Usually leading or trailing whitespace is not helpful in text annotations. > Thus, it would be nice to have a `trim()` convenience method on AnnotationFS > which increases/decreases begin/end such that leading/trailing whitespace is > removed from the annotation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
