-------------------------------------------------------------

I just read the section on packaging and that is great - exactly what was needed.

Maybe it would also be possible to include what to do to produce an executable "slim jar" :
{code:xml|title=pom.xml}
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.4</version>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifest>
                            <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                            <classpathLayoutType>repository</classpathLayoutType>
                            <classpathPrefix>${settings.localRepository}</classpathPrefix>
                            <mainClass>myClass</mainClass>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
{code}
I'm not sure if it's really important but it would have been useful to me some times ago.

Cheers

> Most fat jar approaches, e.g. Maven assembly, have problems with resources at the same location in the classpath in multiple JARs. E.g. if two JARs being bundled into a fat jar have a types.txt file, only one survives. 
> One option to fix this would be to change the pattern that uimaFIT uses to search for these files, e.g. from classpath*:META-INF/org.apache.uima.fit/types.txt to classpath*:META-INF/org.apache.uima.fit/**/types.txt
