Build questions

[Thilo Goetz <tw...@gmx.de>]

I just set up a new machine with the UIMA build and tried to follow the 
instructions on our website.  Here are a couple of things I 
noticed/don't understand.

- When setting up the build for Eclipse, the M2_REPO variable needs to 
be set up manually.  Is this correct?  If so, this is missing from the 
instructions, and I'll be happy to add the information.

- After running mvn install, I have some files in my workspace that are 
not in svn, or no longer in sync: uimaj-core/Sofa.xcas has (whitespace) 
changes.  What's the purpose of that file?  uimaj-cpe/checkpoint.dat is 
not in svn.  Should we set svn:ignore?  What are the 
checkpoint_synchPoint.xml[.prev] used for?

Doh, my fault.  I left out that step.

So I added svn:ignore to checkpoint.dat, and fixed he Sofa.xcas issue 
with Jira ticket UIMA-27.

The M2_REPO variable should be created by this step in the instructions:
mvn -Declipse.workspace=<eclipse workspace dir> eclipse:add-maven-repo
(you might need to restart eclipse, however; I'm not sure).

Hmmm... I thought I added those checkpoint files to svn:ignore
already.  These files are created and/or used by the unit tests.  If
they're created by the unit tests, the unit tests should delete them
afterwards.  I tried to add them to svn:ignore since I was too lazy to
fix the tests.   I'm not sure if Sofa.xcas is created by the unit
tests or if it needs to preexist - if it needs to preexist then it
should get moved out of the root directory.
