Hi Joern,
I played around with the CasEditor and tried to add a cas processor, but
unfortunately without success. I was able to add the cas processor
(annotator) to my project and I found the place in the context menu to
run it, but I ever get ClassNotFound exceptions... what is true, I never
specified the classpath for the component. Since we are in an eclipse
environment, I guess we can only add plugins dependencies to the
classpath. So I have to package my annotator component as plugin to add
it as dependency to the CasEditor... is that right?
To work around that issue, I take a look at the code where you create
the analysis engine instance. With some minor modifications I was able
to enable your code to work with the new pear runtime that was developed
with uimaj-2.2. I have created a patch and put it on my apache home
space (http://people.apache.org/~mbaessler/AnnotatorRuntime.patch).
Please have a look at let me know what you think about.
I think the changes should not break anything, is just enables the new
stuff additionally.
Not sure if you know the capabilities of the new pear runtime....When
installing a PEAR with uimaj-2.2. a new pear descriptor in the install
root directory is created (<componentID>_pear.xml). This descriptor can
be loaded with any tooling as analysis engine (no special API is
needed). The descriptor refers to the installed PEAR package where the
UIMA framework reads all the necessary information to run the PEAR content.
