I test this and it works fine in my setup. To edit you must do a  
single click
in the value column, after that you will see an embedded text field  
where
you can edit the value.

If this still does not work for you please check if there are messages  
added
to the error log while you do this.

Feature structures can be linked via drag and drop.

For example I have a date feature structure which can be composed of  
day, month and year annotations.

To link them select the date feature structure and then pin it to one  
edit view (the button with the lock icon),
now drag the day annotation from the outline view and drop it over the

[ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA 2.2.1-incubating

The Apache UIMA [1] team is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of Apache UIMA 2.2.1-incubating [2].  UIMA is
a component framework for the the development, discovery,
composition and deployment of multi-modal analytics for
the analysis of unstructured information.

This release is a bug fix release of Apache UIMA 2.2.0-incubating. The 
main fixes are:
- The CAS heap size augmentation algorithm was improved for large 
documents.
- The resource loading of custom resource bundles was improved so that 
 the message localization works for UIMA components packaged as PEAR.
- Memory leak fix for CAS pool - CAS pool can now be garbage collected.
The complete list of fixes is available in the release notes [3].

The UIMA Eclipse plugins can now be installed using an Eclipse update 
site [4].

Non-matching filter?

Hi,

I have been looking at Contraints and Filters.
I understand how to use them to get an iterator that matches a certain
type, but I want to do the opposite....

I have annotations for 3 types: City, State, and Location (where
location contains a city and a state)

Now I want to create a filtered iterator that basically returns any city
annotations that are NOT already within a Location annotation.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

- Jonathan

Jonathan,

first, let me make sure I understand what it is that you need.  So for example,
for a sentence "the exhibition will visit New York, NY, and Paris, France" you
would might have city annotations for "New York" and "Paris", a state annotation
for "NY", and a location annotation for "New York, NY".  You would want to find
the city annotation for Paris, but not the one for New York.

If this is what you're trying to do, I don't know of an easy answer.  The fastest
method would involve iterating over locations and cities in parallel, but that
gets really messy and there are a ton of boundary cases to consider.  So here's

Re: Non-matching filter?

If a city can only be included in a single location, a simple approach would
be to add a feature to the city type which indicates if the annotation has
been added to a location. If a city can be in multiple locations, and
locations can be modified or removed, the feature in city would have to be
multivalued, e.g. a linked list.

Eclipse update site URL incorrect in documentation

Hi developers et al.,

I'm pleased the Eclipse plugins can now be installed using an Eclipse update
site, but have two issues:

1. The site reported in the (online) documentation is wrong, it should be:
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/uima/eclipseUpdateSite/
(In the documentation the last directory is given as eclipse-update-site.)

2. When I ask Eclipse to visit the site to install new features it reports
an error:
Unable to access "
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/uima/eclipseUpdateSite ". Error
accessing site stream. [Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.]
...

When I examine site.xml in a browser it *looks* OK to me. Any ideas? (I
should also point out I already have the plugins installed manually, but
would like to get the update feature working too, for the future.)

TIA,
James

Re: Eclipse update site URL incorrect in documentation

Hi James -

This is our first try at doing the update site, and we simultaneously
were the first project in the incubator to move the distribution point
for our project to the new Apache location for incubator distributions
and set up "mirroring".  I'll take a look (tomorrow) and see if I can
figure out what's gone wrong.

Re: Eclipse update site URL incorrect in documentation

Thanks Marshall. The development team's efforts to improve the project and
its distribution are appreciated.

Re: Eclipse update site URL incorrect in documentation

Hi James.

I'm having trouble reproducing this problem.  This is what I tried:

Working on a Windows XP machine:
1) downloaded the current Eclipse version (3.3.1.1)
2) started it up, went to menu Help -> SoftwareUpdates -> Find and Install
    - added the uima site as a remote
    - selected that site, plus the "EMF" site (EMF is a pre-req for UIMA)
    - hit next and waited for the next selection screen.

3) picked uima, expanded the EMF twistie, and pushed "add required 
plugins" (not sure of the name, typing from memory...)

It all downloaded / installed without errors, and seems to have worked.

Can you provide details on steps that might reproduce the problem?

Thanks. -Marshall

Re: Eclipse update site URL incorrect in documentation

One other thought:  There's a possibility that "proxies" may be 
interfering.  Can you please check this?
The UIMA overview & setup book has this note:

    If your computer is on an internet connection which uses a proxy
    server, you can configure Eclipse to know about that. Put your proxy
    settings into Eclipse using the Eclipse preferences by accessing the
    menus: Window → Preferences... → Install/Update, and Enable HTTP
    proxy connection under the Proxy Settings with the information about
    your proxy.
