> Currently, there is a slew of manually maintained xml primitive as well as aggregate xml descriptors.  It would be nice if we can clean those up and have defaults auto-generated by uimaFIT during build/test time.
> Throwing out the idea:
> 1) JCasAnnotator base interface to force new Annotators to have a .createAnnotationDescription()
> 2) Delete all current /desc/**/*.xml descriptors
> 3) Create a mechanism that will automatically create the primitive xml descriptor.  As well as the AggregateDefault one.
