Description

There are many places where there is a specification for the "current" directory, specified as "/". This apparently works on Windows, but on *nix it goes to the root directory. A fix which might work is to change these to "./".

The maven build is setting the permissions of the jar files strangely, maybe. The evidence: on a Mac platform, run the build, then look at the uima-runtime plugin: unzip it using the built-in Mac tool for this. The resulting files have permissions set as follows:

-w---r-T

This makes Eclipse not able to load the jar classes. When changed to the normal rw-rr-, Eclipse works.

I have not confirmed that Maven is at fault here - it could be the unzipper program - not sure how this all works on a Mac.
