Hi Everyone, Please review and vote on approving the first release of Apache *UIMACPP*, the C++ version of the *UIMA* framework. The release artifacts and the annotated RAT reports can be found here: http://people.apache.org/~eae/uimacpp-release-candidates/2.2.2/03/<http://people.apache.org/%7Eschor/uima-release-candidates/uima-as/08>
<http://people.apache.org/%7Eschor/uima-release-candidates/uima-as/08> UIMACPP makes it easy to create UIMA-compliant component from C++ analytics. This is extremely important for multimodal analytics such as speech-to-text, machine translation, image analysis, and many others. As a C++ library, UIMACPP also enables creating UIMA compliant components in other programming languages which easily link to C++. Included in this release is support for *Perl*, *Python* and *Tcl* via a common *SWIG*wrapper. UIMACPP utilizes several other Apache projects: *APR*, *Xerces-c* and * ActiveMQ-CPP*. Another, and final dependency, is *ICU4C* from icu-project.org. An official release of UIMACPP was delayed until a mechanism was in place to run C++ analytics as native processes; *UIMA-AS* has finally provided that mechanism. Previously, UIMACPP analytics had to be run under a JVM process through the JNI, which put many restrictions on operability. The *UIMA* project dev-list vote to release *UIMACPP* was 6 +1's, and no other votes; see the vote here: http://markmail.org/message/dmf2wk6zzq7dlsft<http://markmail.org/message/t6l2ineufbr3qo4g> Many thanks for your support, Eddie Epstein
