  AnnotatorConfigurationException | An `AnnotatorConfigurationException` is thrown by an annotator if the settings of its configuration parameters are invalid.
  AnnotatorContextException | An `AnnotatorContextException` is thrown by an `AnnotatorContext` if it cannot complete the invoked operation due to a failure in the underlying implementation.
  AnnotatorInitializationException | An `AnnotatorInitializationException` may be thrown by an annotator's initialize method, indicating that the annotator failed to successfully initialize itself.

## Package org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator Description

The Annotator Interfaces, along with supporting interfaces and exception classes.

The annotator interfaces are as follows:

- ``BaseAnnotator``: the base interface for all annotators. Annotators should not implement this directly.
- ``GenericAnnotator``: an annotator that can process any type of entity.
- ``TextAnnotator``: an annotator that processes text documents.
- ``JTextAnnotator``: similar to `TextAnnotator`, but uses the Java-object-based `JCas` interface instead of the standard `CAS` interface.
