Re: Cas Editor split for easy RCP app integration

Sounds good to me. That way the Eclipse integration could also take care of resolving imports via the Java
Classpath if a XMI resides within a Java project.

Cheers,

Richard

Re: Cas Editor split for easy RCP app integration

+1, really a nice idea Jörn , that may help other existing platforms (like
IntelliJ) developing a specialized CAS Editor (or create new UI tool for
UIMA).

  I cannot see how that helps the development of Cas Editors for other
non-eclipse platforms?

The core part will still depend on eclipse and contains the Annotation
Editor together with the views.

from what you said in the first email I understood the core wouldn't have
contained Eclipse dependencies, however I still think this refactoring is a
good thing.

No, that is a misunderstanding, almost any code inside the Cas Editor 
depends
on eclipse APIs.
