CAS Viewer submission

The CAS Viewer is a tool for exploring the contents of the CAS that contains types, feature structures, feature values, and indices created when analysis engines are run over some input text documents. It unlocks and visualizes the CAS content by providing the following information:

• Annotations with associated types
• Indices that reside in the index repository
  -Annotated text document

UIMA developers can take benefits of the visualization and navigation capabilities inside the CAS content to debug and accelerate the development of their UIMA components.

The CAS Viewer runs as an Eclipse's plug-in and provides a GUI for visualizing serialized CAS saved as XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) format. It also provides APIs for other tools to customize and extend its functionality and its user interface.
