Change startup of framework to support versioned Jars and simplified classpath
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: UIMA-857
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-857
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build, Packaging and Test
Reporter: Marshall Schor
Priority: Minor
Our approach to the framework classpath is to (a) strip version info from our
Jar names, and (b) have a setUimaClassPath script that adds lots of these
(unversioned) jars to the classpath.
Other systems use a different approach - usually putting all the jars that
should be in the classpath into a directory, and then having a small wrapper
jar (with an unversioned name) that adds all the jars it finds in this dir to
the classpath. (See for instance, ActiveMQ startup, or the way things like
Tomcat work). Change UIMA to use this approach. (Not for 2.2.2, but for
following release, perhaps).
