Description

The current @TypeCapability annotation uses Strings for type names:

@TypeCapability(
  inputs = { 
    "org.cleartk.token.type.Sentence", 
    "org.cleartk.token.type.Token:pos", 
    "org.cleartk.token.type.Token:lemma" },

It would be nice if JCas classes could be used directly, for example like this:

@TypeCapability(
  inputTypes = { 
    @Type(Sentence.class),
    @Type(value=Token.class, features={"pos", "lemma"})})

It would also be nice if features could be directly references (cf. UIMA-2147):

@TypeCapability(
  inputTypes = { 
    @Type(Sentence.class),
    @Type(value=Token.class, features={Token.FEAT_POS, Token.FEAT_LEMMA})})
