Marshall Schor updated UIMA-5233:
---------------------------------
Description:
UIMA v2 implemented for built-ins, 2 kinds of Java cover classes. One was
"JCas" the other not. Users not using the JCas could make use of the other
style. V3 has only one style, and uses JCas versions for the actual Feature
Structure Implementation.
Create interfaces for the non-JCas style, and supply them with default methods
that cast "this" to the JCas style actually being used.
Arrange the hierarchy to follow v2 where possible. Take out new v3 upper
hierarchy common classes where a v2 class already exists; use that class
instead (with appropriate casting as above) - so that V2 code that uses these
continues to work.
Update the docs: remove the part which says users have to rename the non-JCas
class uses to the JCas ones (will no longer be required).
