[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-2147) Generate static fields for type names and feature names in JCas wrappers

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13543452#comment-13543452 ]

--------------------------------------------------

Having constants for feature names would be useful for UIMA-2552.

> It would be convient if the JCas wrapper generator would create static final String fields for feature names and for the type name, e.g.
> public static final String TYPE_NAME = "my.jcastypes.Type";
> public static final String FEAT_BEGIN = "begin";
> This would allow cleaner programming with JCas wrappers in cases where the names are required. In particular it would allow to detect certain errors at compile-time and facilitate refactoring.
