Adam Lally commented on UIMA-373:
---------------------------------
Can we have both? I wouldn't want to disorient our users who had gotten used
to the .sh versions. The extension-less command could just call the .sh
version (or vice-versa) so there wouldn't have to be duplicate files to
maintain. A symbolic link might be better, but I'm not sure how to do that and
maintain a platform-independent built process.

> Key: UIMA-373
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-373
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Environment: Unix
> Reporter: Eddie Epstein
>
> UIMA command line utilities are available in two flavors: commandName.bat for
> Windows and commandName.sh for Unix. The Unix world typically does not use an
> extension for scripts.
> In addition to looking dumb, my real peeve with the .sh extension is how it
> complicates writing documentation, saying things like "using the cpeGui shell
> script (cpeGui.bat on Windows, cpeGui.sh on Unix)". Dropping .sh would allow
> the documentation to just say "using commandName".
