I think you did.  The docs contain this:

PEAR Installer creates a file named setenv.txt in the <component_root>/metadata directory. This file
contains environment variables required to run your component in any UIMA application. It also
creates a PEAR descriptor (see also Section 6.3, “PEAR package descriptor” in UIMA References) file
named <componentID>_pear.xml in the <component_root> directory that can be used to directly run the
installed pear file in your application.

And also this:

To run an installed PEAR package directly in the UIMA framework the pearSpecifier XML descriptor can
be used. Typically during the PEAR installation such an specifier is automatically generated and
contains all the necessary information to run the installed PEAR package. Settings for system
environment variables, system PATH settings or Java library path settings cannot be recognized
automatically and must be set manually when the JVM is started.

The big news is that the capability is there now.  Not sure what additional
documentation we would need.
