Using U-Compare Components within Your UIMA Workflow
You can use indivisual U-Compare components without the U-Compare platform. If you are a UIMA developer who makes your own UIMA workflows from scratch, you might prefer this way. However, please pay attension that mixing U-Compare components with components developed by other groups may cause type system incompatibility, produce no annotation.
In this section you are assumed to know how to create UIMA workflows.
Fetching Jars by UCLoader
Please launch UCLoader (see Launch U-Compare page in the U-Compare website for details), then all of the required library jar files are stored in your [your.user.home]/.U-Compare/jars directory. You have to put these jar files into your classpath.
Component Import Path Name
All of the U-Compare components are assumed to be used via the classpath loading, i.e. <import name>. should be used in your descriptors.
Unarchive u-compare.jar file in the [your.user.home]/.U-Compare/jars directory. A jar file is compatible with zip so you can use unzip tools to unarchive.
In the unarchived directory, /descriptors/categories.xml has the list of ready-to-use components with their import-name paths. Please note that this list might be updated without notification; update is automatic by using UCLoader.
