I would like to move the PEAR packaging projects
PearPackagingAntTask
PearPackagingMavenPlugin
to the main UIMA code base and add them to the modules list in the uimaj
POM.
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?
