Interface Summary
Interface	Description
CompositeResourceFactory	A type of `ResourceFactory` that produces resources by delegating to other Resource Factories.
I18nExceptionI	Like InternationalizedException, but is an interface with default methods.
List_of_ints	a List API that returns ints instead of T
ResourceFactory	A `ResourceFactory` is used to acquire instances of `Resource`s.
ResourceSpecifierFactory	A factory used to create `ResourceSpecifier` instances and instances of other objects needed to compose `ResourceSpecifier`s.
UimaContext	Provides access to external resources (other than the CAS).
UimaContextAdmin	Admin interface to the UIMA Context.
UimaSerializable	This interface is implemented by JCas classes that need to be called by the framework when a serialization is about to happen.
UimaSerializableFSs	This interface is implemented by JCas classes that need to be called by the framework when a serialization is about to happen where the _save_to_cas_data() method update Features which have references to Feature Structures

Class Summary
Class	Description
Constants	Some constants used by the UIMA framework.
UimaContextHolder	This class holds the UimaContext for the current thread, or a parent thread.
UIMAFramework	This is an application's main interface point to the UIMA Framework.

Exception Summary
Exception	Description
InternationalizedException	The `InternationalizedException` class adds internationalization support to the standard functionality provided by `java.lang.Exception`.
InternationalizedRuntimeException	The `InternationalizedRuntimeException` class adds internationalization support to the standard functionality provided by `java.lang.RuntimeException`.
UIMA_IllegalArgumentException	Thrown to indicate that a method has been passed an illegal or inappropriate argument.
UIMA_IllegalStateException	Signals that a method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time.
UIMA_UnsupportedOperationException	Thrown to indicate that the requested operation is not supported.
UIMAException	This is the superclass for all checked exceptions in UIMA.
UIMARuntimeException	This is the superclass for all unchecked exceptions in UIMA.

Package org.apache.uima Description

Apache UIMA

This package contains:

The UIMAFramework class provides the primary interface point for applications.
Most of the error / exception indirection classes (to allow IDEs to do auto-complete looking for messages).

Internationalized Exceptions and Messages

Internationalization is handled by the static methods in I18nUtil. These are called by the Internationalized Exceptions, but may be also used for non-exception message localization.

Exception messages are collected into classes. These classes may be organized further into hierarchies, but the top of these extend one of the following 3 classes:

Exception - for checked exceptions
RuntimeException - for unchecked exceptions
SaxException - for exceptions thrown during Sax related callbacks requiring SaxExceptions be thrown

Common code for getting a localized message from arguments and message key and resource bundle are put in the interface I18nExceptionI as default methods. Using default methods allows shared methods to be used with different superclass chains.

The individual classes:

hold static public MSG_NAME = "prop-file-key-name" values, allow IDE search via completion, allows renaming via Eclipse refactorization
Classes collect messages for some sub-section of the code
Super class structure can supply common resource bundles
