state of addons (was: Re: [jira] [Commented] (UIMA-2387) ResultingAnnotationName not optional in ConceptMapper)

[Jens Grivolla <j+...@grivolla.net>]

Thanks Richard for looking into this. As I mentioned in another message, 
I recently updated ConceptMapper to get rid of deprecated stuff and make 
it work with uimaFIT, and other addons would probably also need some 
updates.

How do we go about this? In the case of ConceptMapper there's my patch 
against the 2.3.1Addons version that fixes the bug, and then there's an 
update to it to make it more in line with current UIMA practice.

So do we first fix the bug, then open a new issue to make it more 
modern? Will there be new addon releases, or should we release updated 
addons individually? It would probably not make sense to make a common 
release of all addons where many of the components extend deprecated 
classes such as TextAnnotator.

I don't care much about binary releases, but having official updated 
maven artifacts would be nice at some point...

Bye,
Jens

In our use case we only want to write back information to the original token, without creating a new annotation. Instead of treating this as a documentation bug it is therefore better to fix the code.
