Description

The JCasGen process produces classes with a protected empty no parameter constructor.

Base classes that have extended the Annotation class (org.apache.uima.jcas.tcas.Annotation) are now getting warnings that the constructor Annotation() is deprecated.

The constructor documentation states, "Never called. Disable default constructor" but the presence of other constructors already serve this purpose.
