Description

Improve CDE to allow other tools to re-use its functionality to edit a new UIMA Xml Descriptor.
With this improvement, other tools can edit a newly defined UIMA descriptor with the following characteristics:

• End-user will see the currently existing single menu item of CDE to edit any UIMA Xml descriptor (including the newly defined descriptor)
• Some features from CDE can be re-used by the new editor (XML source editing, dialogs, error handlings, etc.)
