I would like to move the PEAR packaging projects

to the main UIMA code base and add them to the modules list in the

The advantage of the move is, that the two projects are automatically
compiled when UIMA is compiled. So they haven't been compiled
manually before an annotator component can be compiled. I don't think
it is necessary to ship them with the core framework, it is more
like a framework helper functionality like the test util projects
uimaj-test-util and uimaj-component-test-util.
The disadvantage of the move is, that the to projects must be
extracted from SVN to get the UIMA core framework compiled.
Opinions?

When thinking again about this issues we could also consider the
following...
We create a Sandbox-dist project that contains a Sandbox build for the
"stable" sandbox components similar to the uimaj and uimaj-dist project.
To build the Sandbox components these Sandbox build must be used. Given
that, we can add the PEAR packaging projects as dependencies for this
build, so that they are compiled automatically before the annotators and
other components are compiled.
I think I would prefer that way.
+1, I like that idea.
