  org.apache.uima.collection.base_cpm.CasDataInitializer As of v2.0, CAS Initializers are deprecated. A component that performs an operation like HTML detagging should instead be implemented as a "multi-Sofa" annotator. See org.apache.uima.examples.XmlDetagger for an example.
  org.apache.uima.collection.CasInitializer As of v2.0, CAS Initializers are deprecated. A component that performs an operation like HTML detagging should instead be implemented as a "multi-Sofa" annotator. See org.apache.uima.examples.XmlDetagger for an example.
  org.apache.uima.collection.CasInitializerDescription As of v2.0, CAS Initializers are deprecated. A component that performs an operation like HTML detagging should instead be implemented as a "multi-Sofa" annotator. See org.apache.uima.examples.XmlDetagger for an example.
