Description

According to much deliberation, the definition of an annotation following/preceding has been made so that a zero-width annotation at the beginning of a larger span is considered to be preceding it and a zero-width annotation at the end of a larger span is considered to be following it.

uimaFIT selectPreceding and selectFollowing should be aligned with that updated definition.
