Actually, creating new annotations via `new Annotation(jcas, begin, end)` or in
general `new ANYANNOTATIONTYPE(jcas, begin, end)` should also work in UIMAv3.
For the built-in types like
`org.apache.uima.jcas.tcas.Annotation`, it should work immediately while for
custom-types, you'd have to build the JCas classes again for UIMAv3 using
jcasgen v3.
I just tried it and this works just nicely:
----
@Test
public void blah() throws Exception {
JCas jcas = CasCreationUtils.createCas().getJCas();
Annotation ann = new Annotation(jcas, 0, 1);
ann.addToIndexes();
}

I believe ClearTK has never been updated to UIMAv3. It would need to be updated
before it can be used. In particular,
the JCas classes used by ClearTK need to be re-generated. Other than that, I
would not expect a significant amount
of code changes that would need to be done.
