Hi Mikhail,
Please see comments from Marshall about some issues that we may have with
DocumentAnnotation:
http://www.mail-archive.com/uima-dev@incubator.apache.org/msg07146.html
The following is my summary of the issues surrounding the DocumentAnnotation
class:
1. If we INCLUDE the uima-document-annotation.jar in the runtime plug-in as
your suggestion (which is valid), we have the following issue: If developers
need to substitute this class with their own version in their own plug-in
(Bundle in OSGi term), it is possible (from my experience, "most likely") that
the "custom" DocumentAnnotation in the developers plugin cannot be reached
because the DocumentAnnotation class can come from two "different" plugins
(UIMA runtime plug-in and user's plug-in) and OSGi uses the package
"org.apache.uima.jcas.tcas" in UIMA runtime plug-in for wiring.
2. if we DON'T include the uima-document-annotation.jar in the runtime
plug-in, the "custom" DocumentAnnotation in the developers plugin will be used
(there is a complicated situation that this approach still has the problem as
(1) above).
>From the above summary, it looks like the above (2) approach is the reasonable
>choice for now.
One small thing that we may do for the next release is to create a "fragment"
containing the uima-document-annotation.jar so that developers can add this
"fragment" to UIMA runtime plugin to cover your use-case.
BTW, if you have any specific problem, please bring up and we can discuss in
the mailing list.

> Classes from uima-document-annotator.jar are not in Eclipse plugin
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: UIMA-1027
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1027
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Eclipse plugins
> Affects Versions: 2.2.2AS, 2.2.2S
> Reporter: Mikhail Sogrin
>
> Eclipse plugin org.apache.uima.runtime previously contained jars inside a
> plugin. Version 2.2.2 has jars unzipped. But contents of
> uima-document-annotator.jar were not added to 2.2.2 plugin.
> I've previously submitted a report (UIMA-400) about the same jar which was
> not added to 2.1.0 plugin by mistake, and it was fixed in 2.2.0, and now
> broken again in 2.2.2.
> In addition, there's a circular dependency for the package
> org.apache.uima.jcas.tcas, i.e. the same package is exported and imported in
> manifest. Probably, it's caused by the same missing classes from that jar.
