It does seem like a poor dependency to have since we claim UIMA doesn't require Eclipse. - To package the analysis component correctly we have to put the resource and the code to the directories specified in the pear description (UIMA nature) layout but this layout does not match the Maven layout.

So in that case we can also think about creating a pear package during the build. I will check if it is possible to redesign the code to have an API to build a pear package and maybe to create a pear package during the build. I thought the default PEAR directory layout was optional. It would be nice if the Maven layout were supported. I don't think the UIMA nature is optional. Some of the directories must exist but maybe we can change that... So our goal is to have a Maven based structure for the sandbox components and spend time to adapt the pear utilities on this. Again, let me check how expensive this is... -- Michael

I think only the .metadata directory is actually required... but we should check with Lev.

For the record, I don't know if it's critical to do this immediately. I could be OK with a non-Maven build to start. But it is an issue if our PEAR Packager is not flexible enough to work with Maven, and we should address that eventually. -Adam
