> Change the signature from
> {noformat}
> selectCovered(Class<T> type, AnnotationFS coveringAnnotation)
> {noformat}
> to 
> {noformat}
> selectCovered(AnnotationFS coveringAnnotation, Class<T> type)
> {noformat}
> Per convention, the thing to select from should be the first argument(s) and the following arguments should specify what to select.
> Probably also change
> {noformat}
> selectCovered(JCas jCas, final Class<T> type, AnnotationFS coveringAnnotation)
> {noformat}
> to 
> {noformat}
> selectCovered(JCas jCas, AnnotationFS coveringAnnotation, final Class<T> type)
> {noformat}
> and so on. Probably best to even deprecate/remove the signature with both, JCas and coveringAnnotation, because seeking only works when the coveringAnnotation is part of the CAS.
