Is this something you would like to see fixed in the TypeSystemMgr, or
in the code that calls the TypeSystemMgr? I believe I can probably fix
it in the TypeSystemMgr without too much work.

Duplicate feature name on supertype and subtype does not work if subtype
definition comes first in descriptor

Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Adam Lally
Assigned To: Adam Lally
If a user's type system declares an identical named feature on a supertype and one of its subtypes, it works as long as the supertype definition comes first in the XML type system descriptor. (The subtype definition is ignored.) But if the subtype definition comes first, then the feature is only created on the subtype, NOT the supertype. We should make this consistent, so that the feature is always created on the supertype.
