[jira] Updated: (UIMA-373) UIMA's Unix command line utilities are named badly

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-373?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eddie Epstein updated UIMA-373:
-------------------------------

    Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

Given the initial reaction, the priority has been dropped to "Minor". If nobody buys this suit in the next week, the priority will be dropped to "Trivial", and then, if still unsold a week later, this issue will be removed from Jira and sent back to the factory to be recycled.

> UIMA command line utilities are available in two flavors: commandName.bat for Windows and commandName.sh for Unix. The Unix world typically does not use an extension for scripts.
> In addition to looking dumb, my real peeve with the .sh extension is how it complicates writing documentation, saying things like "using the cpeGui shell script (cpeGui.bat on Windows, cpeGui.sh on Unix)". Dropping .sh would allow the documentation to just say "using commandName".
