[UIMA-4132] JCasGen with limit option does not work in Eclipse unless typesystem is reloaded

• Type: Bug

Description

1. Create a Java project "test2"
2. Create a type system description "typeSystemDescriptor2.xml" in "test2"
3. Create a type "some.typename.you.Choose2" in that descriptor
4. Save "typeSystemDescriptor2.xml"
5. Create a Java project "test"
6. Add "test2" as a build dependency to "test"
7. Create a type system description "typeSystemDescriptor.xml" in "test"
8. Create a type "some.typename.you.Choose" in that descriptor
9. Add "typeSystemDescriptor2.xml" via import-by-name
10. Save "typeSystemDescriptor.xml"
11. Enable "limited" in "typeSystemDescriptor.xml"
12. Press JCasGen in "typeSystemDescriptor.xml"

Expected result:

• JCas files generated for "some.typename.you.Choose"
• no JCas files generated for "some.typename.you.Choose2"

Actual result:

• no JCas files generated whatsoever

Diagnosis

• isOutOfScope() requires the sourceUrl in the type descriptor to be set
• apparently, the sourceUrl is not set when "typeSystemDescriptor.xml" is created (also not when saved)

Workaround

• close the editor for "typeSystemDescriptor.xml"
• reopen it
• Enable "limited" in "typeSystemDescriptor.xml"
• Press JCasGen in "typeSystemDescriptor.xml"
