Description

The current build has the DocumentAnnotation JCas cover class in uima-core.jar. This creates a problem for anyone who has added features to this type and run JCasGen.

Fixes as suggested by Marshall and agreed by Adam:
> a) Do the work to make it easy to get singletons (or whatever we're
> calling this feature) out of the CAS
>
> b) Change JCasGen to not generate DocumentAnnotation if the merged
> version = the base
>
> c) Add the DocumentAnnotation jar back to the build, with instructions
> to remove it from the
> deployment and substitute a JCasGenerated one if the application needs a
> special one.
