For instructions on building Apache UIMA-AS please refer to: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/svn.html#building.with.maven Those instructions will enable building the uima core, which is needed by this project. To build this project, first build the UIMA core, and then do the following steps: 1) either check out of SVN the following projects into the same "workspace" directory that you checked out the base UIMA: - uima-as-distr - uimaj-as - uimaj-as-activemq - uimaj-as-core - uimaj-as-jms - uimaj-ep-deployeditor - uimaj-ep-runtime-deployeditor or, unzip the source distribution into the same workspace. 2) cd to the uimaj-as project, and do mvn install 3) To work with eclipse, following step 2), do mvn eclipse:eclipse 4) To build the distribution, follow the setup instructions on http://incubator.apache.org/uima/svn.html#build.distribution and then cd to uima-as-distr and do mvn assembly:assembly ------------------------- If you have installed both the Apache UIMA-AS binary distribution and the Apache UIMA-AS source distribution, you can run the addSourceJars.bat (or .sh) script to add the source code to the jar files in the UIMA_HOME/lib directory. This may make it more convenient to access the UIMA Source Code (and JavaDocs) from an IDE such as Eclipse. See the NOTICE file for licensing information. Apache UIMA is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
