Description

The common build (specified in the uima-addons-parent pom) adds a directive "Eclipse-buddy:Registered" to the OSGi Manifest.

This was done in an attempt (I think) to make it possible for the annotator to work nicely with the UIMA framework. But, if that was the reason, then it is the wrong form; the form that would need to be used is "Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: org.apache.uima.runtime".

These annotator bundles are intended to be used with OSGi frameworks like Apache Felix, which do not support buddy-loading, in any case; because of this, the uimaj-core jars are packaged within the bundle, and the expected use is to use the bundle as a UIMA application.
