The Apache UIMA addons package is a collection of additional components for the base UIMA release.
The add-on package contains annotator components developed for Apache UIMA. The
add-on package fits the Apache UIMA directory structure and adds a directory
called "addons lib" that contains the following annotator components:
- DictionaryAnnotator
- RegularExpressionAnnotator
- Tagger
- WhitespaceTokenizer
- Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) BSFAnnotator
- ConceptMapper
- ConfigurableFeatureExtractor
- Lucas
- OpenCalaisAnnotator
- SnowballAnnotator

- AlchemyAPIAnnotator
- Solrcas
Additionally the package contains some components to package annotators
and for accessing annotators as simple REST service. These are:
- PearPackagingAntTask
- SimpleServer
There is an addon to the base UIMA:
Each component has a separate LICENSE and NOTICE files; some also
have Readme and other documentation (in docs/). Documentation
is also available on the UIMA website, in the Sandbox area.
The following components were added in this release:
- AlchemyAPI Annotator - is an annotator wrapping alchemyapi.com services providing named entity extraction,
keyword/concept tagging, etc.
- Solrcas - is a CAS Consumer component that can store CAS objects into an Apache Solr instance
The following are the main changes to existing components:

documentLanguage
- Lucas - now using Apache Lucene 2.9.3
- Tagger - added an AnalysisEngine to train HMM Tagger models
- OpenCalaisAnnotator - fixed negative begin/end values bug
