Apache UIMA requirement #32

Closed jeffmax closed 5 years ago

I just had a question around requiring UIMA as a separate download- it seems that ctakes comes bundled with the CVD application in /bin. It is also possible to run the default clinical pipeline without downloading UIMA. Is it strictly necessary to to download UIMA separately or is there another reason it is recommended?

For this project the UIMA download is necessary to get the UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scaleout) libraries. Vanilla cTAKES doesn't use AS but I use it for this project to distribute the analysis engines.
