+      using <literal>List</literal> instead of the more general <literal>Collection</literal>. 
+      Often, lists are already used internally and then again wrapped into new lists in client

+      which uimaFIT had returned on calls to <literal>getLogger()</literal> has been removed
+      and instead the regular UIMA v3 logger class is returned which offers methods quite compatible
+      with what <literal>ExtendedLogger</literal> offered before. However, it is recommended
+      that you go through all your logging calls and replace calls which use string concatenation
+      to construct the logging message with corresponding calls using placeholders. For example,
+      replace <literal>getLogger().error("Cannot access " + filename, exception);</literal> with

-      anything. You should then be able to gradually change the codebase to be compatible with
-      uimaFIT <?eval ${project.version}?>. As far as my tests go, uimaFIT 1.x and <?eval ${project.version}?> can coexist peacefully on the
-      classpath (and indeed both need to be on the classpath in order to use the legacy support
-      module).</para>
-    <para>To enable the legacy support, make sure that you have a dependency on uimaFIT 1.x and then
