Field Detail

OPTION_GENERATE_UIMA_LIST_TYPES

public static final String OPTION_GENERATE_UIMA_LIST_TYPES

Configures the handling of multi-valued properties in the Ecore model. If set to Boolean.FALSE (the default), UIMA array types (e.g. FSArray) will be generated. If set to Boolean.TRUE, UIMA list types (e.g. FSList) will be generated. Note that for primitive types that have no corresponding list type (Byte, Short, Long, Double, and Boolean), array types will always be used.

OPTION_CREATE_ANNOTATION_SUBTYPES

public static final String OPTION_CREATE_ANNOTATION_SUBTYPES

Configures the assignment of supertypes to EClasses that have no declared supertype. If set to Boolean.TRUE (the default), if such an EClass has "begin" and "end" properties of type EInt, the superclass will be set to uima.tcas.Annotation. If set to Boolean.FALSE, all EClasses with no declared supertype will have their supertype set to uima.cas.TOP.

Method Detail

ecore2UimaTypeSystem

public static TypeSystemDescription ecore2UimaTypeSystem(String aEcoreFilePath,
                                                         Map aOptions)
                                                  throws URISyntaxException

Converts an Ecore model to a UIMA TypeSytemDescription.

Parameters:

aEcoreFilePath - file path to a .ecore model file

aOptions - a Map defining options for the conversion. Valid keys for this map are defined as constants on this class.

Returns:

The UIMA TypeSystemDescription corresponding to the Ecore model

Throws:

URISyntaxException - if there is a problem finding or reading the .ecore file

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Main program. Takes two arguments: the filename of an input .ecore file and the filename of the UIMA TypeSystem file to generate.

Throws:

Exception
