    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2127?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13065164#comment-13065164 ] 

Jörn Kottmann commented on UIMA-2127:
-------------------------------------

I understand your issue, currently it is cumbersome to work with multiple different type systems in one project. One way to improve this could be too set a type system on a folder level also.

I am not so fond of using some special mechanism to resolve a type system, because that is difficult to use for others, but  it should at least be possible for you to write a plugin which can resolve a type system in the described way, we will take this into account when working on the Cas Editor API.

> I think it would be great if the CAS editor could define a CAS type pointing to the type system. CAS consumers could use that type to store a reference to a remote type system (cf. XML schema/DTD) or to a local type system in a location absolute or relative to the XMI file. For example:
> org.apache.uima.caseditor.TypeSystemMetaData
> - location = http://myserver/types.xml
> - location = file:../../typesystem.xml
> - location = file:/home/uima/filesystem.xml
