Description

It is unpredictable for me to know when engine.xml associated with a Ruta script is updated. I noticed this when I was busy with my extension. I added the full path my extension class in "additionalExtensions". After, I changed the Ruta script where the my extension is called. No problem. But after a while (I don't know which change I had made in that Ruta script) I got the following error message:
aused by: org.apache.uima.ruta.extensions.RutaParseRuntimeException: Error in NsubjDep, line 17, "(": expected RCURLY, but found LPAREN

later, I realized that the associate engine.xml has automatically updated and the full path of my extension class name has been removed.

PS: The error message is also very unlear.
