Also, at least with the issue Im seeing on my end. When using new
Annotation(jcas,begin,end) the uima.tcas.Annotation is missing from the
registered types List . The typeIndexId is 21.. The list below is from my
eclipse variables inside TypeSystemImpl.getJCasRegisteredType. However the
annotType variable is set correctly
jcasRegisteredTypes
[0...99]
[0] uima.cas.TOP
[1] uima.cas.AnnotationBase
[2] uima.cas.FSArray
[3] uima.cas.FloatArray
[4] uima.cas.IntegerArray
[5] uima.cas.StringArray
[6] uima.cas.BooleanArray
[7] uima.cas.ByteArray
[8] uima.cas.ShortArray
[9] uima.cas.LongArray
[10] uima.cas.DoubleArray
[11] uima.cas.EmptyFSList
[12] uima.cas.NonEmptyFSList
[13] uima.cas.EmptyFloatList
[14] uima.cas.NonEmptyFloatList
[15] uima.cas.EmptyIntegerList
[16] uima.cas.NonEmptyIntegerList
[17] uima.cas.EmptyStringList
[18] uima.cas.NonEmptyStringList
[19] uima.cas.Sofa
[20] uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation
[21] null
[22] org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textspan.Sentence
[23]
