#My Annotation Merger

Gate Plug-in for merging annotations. Annotations can be merged by the type of an annotation, all or specific set of features.

A structure of directories:

My_Annotation_Merger/
  |
  +-- src/
  |     put all your Java sources in here.
  +-- resources/
  |     any external files used by your plugin (e.g. configuration files,
  |     JAPE grammars, gazetteer lists, etc.) go in here.
  +-- build.xml
  |     Ant build file for building your plugin.
  +-- build.properties
  |     property definitions that control the build process go in here,
  |     in particular, make sure that gate.home points to your copy of GATE.
  +-- creole.xml
        plugin configuration file for GATE - edit this to add parameters, etc.,
        for your resources.

To build your plugin you can use Ant: ant jar

This will compile the Java code and package the classes into a JAR file. The build file also has a target to create JavaDoc documentation - ant javadoc. If you run Ant without any arguments it will build everything in one pass.

The build process creates additional files and directories:

My_Annotation_Merger/
  |
  +-- classes/
  |     compiled classes are placed in here.
  +-- doc/
  |    +-- javadoc/
  +-- myAnnotationMerger.jar
