Resolving Undeclared type error

[grja...@gmail.com]

I am running my code on two different platforms.  On one, everything goes smoothly (Linux).  On the one I am currently working on which is a Windows 7 machine, I get a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Undeclared type [full path to class name] on line 154 of CasUtil which is getType.  It is the same code I am running, but different platforms.  Any hints as to what might be causing this?  The path name given in the error message is correct and is on the classpath.  I am running it from eclipse when I get this error.  On the other system, I am either invoking it through a command line script or by using maven.  Eclipse is the best option of the current machine I am working on.

Are you relying on automatic type description? If so, did you make sure that META-INF/org.uimafit/types.txt is on the classpath and contains a reference to your type system XML descriptor, which must also be on the classpath?

Sorry to be of trouble, I have fixed it.  At least having this brief conversation got my mind going.  On my current platform, my package structure had changed.  In my XML descriptor file, I had not updated it to the new path and hence why the class was not found.

The way I am accessing the file is in my code with TypeSystemDescriptionFactory.createTypeSystemDescription(<my Type Descriptor>); so I guess I am not using the automatic type description. Perhaps something to read about for the future.

Nice :)

Small typo I had here… it's "automatic type detection", not "description". See here:
