Generating types with maven
Hi,
just a short question:
Can someone give me a hint how the types (e.g., PersonTitle.java,
PersonTitle_Type.java) are automatically generated during the maven
build, e.g., a pointer to a project/pom?
I probably overlooked something, but I haven't found any plugin
definition in the parent pom (in my workspace). The uimaj-examples
project already contains the types in the SVN (should they be there?)
and the DictionaryAnnotator (trunk) does not build in my workspace right
now.
Best,
Peter

Yes, I remember this issue. We would not have to enforce to generate
the types, but could do it in projects where is it reasonable. An
example: I added one type in uimaj-textmarker and thereby changed 38
additional files. In any release or build, the files would be present
(as now), but not in the SVN.
Anyhow, this was just a thought and I don't want to urge this. Maybe we
can discuss this again when there finally is a TextMarker release.

An issue to consider:
Type systems often reference other type systems. JCasGen does the official UIMA
"merge" of all the type systems referenced, at generation time. Sometimes this
is wanted, other times, this is not wanted (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1176 ).
User code references the generated JCas type system cover classes. If these
were not available in SVN, the generate step would be needed to be run. I
suppose we could develop a maven plugin that did this; it would need access to
the referenced type systems (see above). And m2e (for Eclipse) would need some
setup to get this to run at load time.

Ah, ok. My mistake. I've seen this in my workspace some time ago
(probably was not uimaj, but cleartk, dkpro or something) and got a bit
confused now. Since the types are generated, I thought that this is also
supported in our build process.
Generating the types (those with no extra code) and not storing them in
the SVN sounds reasonable to me. Especially since the file changes when
you call JCasGen, e.g., " * Updated by JCasGen Wed Jul 11 15:10:37 CEST
2012". What do you think?

Types are generated by the JCasGen tool. For people who use the Eclipse IDE,
there's a UIMA plugin for Eclipse that provides a form-based editor for the UIMA
XML descriptors, and for those descriptors which involve type systems, it
provides a push-button to run the tool and add the generated classes to your
Eclipse project sources.
For those not using the Eclipse IDE, the JCasGen tool can be run from the
command line. This tool is documented in our documentation, here:

There was a recent change to this that is being rolled back. See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2430
Maybe that affected the build (I haven't tried myself, yet).

Hi Peter,
check out the uimaFIT pom. We generate types for the test cases.
