uutuc - uima unit test utility code

[Philip Ogren <ph...@ogren.info>]

We have posted a light-weight set of utility classes that ease the 
burden of unit testing UIMA components.  The project is located at:

http://uutuc.googlecode.com/

and is licensed under ASL 2.0. 

There is very little documentation for this library at the moment - just 
a bare-bones getting started tutorial that shows a very simple example 
of unit testing an analysis engine (RoomNumberAnnotator).  A fuller 
tutorial (along with javadocs) are forthcoming.  However, uutuc does use 
itself to unit-test the code (over 90% code coverage) and is now used by 
ClearTK which has more than 250 tests in it.  Both of these projects 
provide good examples of uutuc usage.  It is by no means a complete 
library - but we have found it very useful for our project(s). 
Marshall, in response to your earlier email - if it makes sense to fold 
this into a UIMA project like uimaj-test-util, then I think that would 
be great.  I thought it might be easier initially to clean up what we 
had written for cleartk and release it as a separate project and see if 
anyone finds it useful.

Thanks, Philip.  I hope everyone takes a look :-).  Testing is essential
to have quality software (in my humble experience :-) ).
