Description

It is not possible to set features with subtypes of the feature type.

More specific, given an annotation A of type X that has a feature of type Y and another annotation B of type Z which is a subtype of Y.

In order to create a reference from A to B, one fixes annotation A in the edit view and drags annotation B from the outline view to the slot of type Y. However, it fails since the edit view only allows annotations of type Y not subtypes.

We assume that the bug is located in org.apache.uima.caseditor.editor.editview.EditViewPage.java - Line 629 (Type.equals check).
