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

             Summary: syntax simplification for types declaration
                 Key: UIMA-4368
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-4368
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ruta
            Reporter: Renaud Richardet
            Priority: Minor


Below a proposal to make the Ruta syntax more succinct:

When declaring types with a parent type: if no parent type is specified, Annotation is used as the implied default parent type. 

{code}
// before
DECLARE Annotation MyAnnotation(STRING myFeature);
// after
DECLARE MyAnnotation(STRING myFeature);
{code}
