I would like to second Andrew Borthwick's original request for a UIMA-savvy annotation tool. 

Adding it to a full-featured annotator would probably be great, but having an open source option would
offer the most potential
upside for UIMA. Alembic and its replacement Callisto are free, but not open source, so I believe MITRE
would have to add support
for UIMA themselves.

Are there any open source annotators people would recommend for integrating with UIMA?
