debugging in the uima framework

[Abhik Lahiri <ab...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I am a newbie at the UIMA framework and I am writing code in eclipse using
the uima-plugins for eclipse. I wanted to know whether there is any way in
which one can debug code written in the uima framework, set breakpoints etc?
because in eclipse, I am unable to set breakpoints in the .java class files
that were generated by my .xml descriptor files!

Thanks a lot for all your help!

Regards,
Abhik

 I tried setting a breakpoint and it worked for me.

Here's what I did:

In the uimaj-examples project, I set a breakpoint in the
org.apache.uima.tutorial.RoomNumber.java file, on line 71, where it constructs a
new instance.

Then, I ran the document analyzer in debug mode (launching from eclipse), and
specified the tutorial example 1 room number annotator as the one to run.

It stopped on the breakpoint.

So, my guess is that the behavior that you are seeing is probably not caused by
the break point "not working", but rather by something else, such as the code
isn't running through the path where you set the breakpoint.

But perhaps I have misunderstood what you were saying.  Did you mean that the
process in Eclipse, where you open a source file, (say, the
org.apache.uima.tutorial.RoomNumber.java file in the uimaj-examples project),
and then do the Eclipse action to set the breakpoint (double-left-clicking the
mouse on the little grey bar on the left side of the Editor window, on the line
where you want the breakpoint), doesn't toggle the breakpoint on that line?

Hi everyone,
I am still looking for answer to my question on how to debug java code
written in uima framework in eclipse? I mean I cant set breakpoints on the
.java files that are generated using the JCasGen tool.

Can anyone please help??

Thanks a lot!

Hi Marshall,
Below are the answers to your 2 questions:

1) I am writing annotator code.
2) I can't set breakpoints in any of the .java files that are generated by
JCasGen from the .xml analysis engine descriptor files (usually in the /desc
folder in your project workspace)

Thanks a lot,
Abhik

Which "uima-plugins for eclipse" are you referring to?  Are you writing
annotators, or are you writing Eclipse Plugins or something else?

Can you be more specific - what particular files that "were generated by" your
.xml descriptor files, could you not set breakpoints in?
