 a compatible version of the Java version of the Apache UIMA SDK. For your convenience, the binary
 distribution package of uimaFIT includes all libraries necessary to use uimaFIT. In particular for
 novice users, it is strongly advised to obtain a copy of the full UIMA SDK separately.

 uimaFIT is a library that provides factories, injection, and testing utilities for UIMA. The
 following list highlights some of the features uimaFIT provides:
 
- * Factories: simplify instantiating UIMA components programmatically without descriptor files.

  * Injection: handles the binding of configuration parameter values to the corresponding member
    variables in the analysis engines and handles the binding of external resources. For example,
    to bind a configuration parameter just annotate a member variable with @ConfigurationParameter.
