Add method to create a CAS to AnnotatorTester
Hi all,
I am writing a unit test for an Analysis Engine which does XML parsing.
The AE should get xml as binary content as input and then produce
a text view in my CAS.
In order to put the xml in the CAS I am using CAS.setSofaDataArray.
Now I want to make a test where I am preparing a CAS with the xml
and then check if the text view and metadata is created as expected.
For this test a method on the AnnotatorTest like performTest(String, String)
would be handy. Or just a method to create a CAS with the TypeSystem the
AE has.
I suggest to add this method AnnotatorTest.createCAS() which creates
a CAS that can be used for testing.

I use AnnotatorTester to create my AE. AnnotatorTester now encapsulates
the AE and does not allow me to call AnalysisEngine.newCAS(). But I need a
CAS instance in my test.

Although I probably don't understand all the issues, I think it's fine to add
methods to AnnotatorTester (I don't see AnnotatorTest ?) if they serve a new use
case.
