Interface Summary

AnnotationDiffer.Pairing	Interface representing a pairing between a key annotation and a response one.
FeatureBearer	Classes that have features.
IdBearer	Classes that have Ids.
NameBearer	Classes that have features.

Class Summary

AbstractFeatureBearer	A convenience implemetation of FeatureBearer.
AbstractNameBearer
AnnotationDiffer	This class provides the logic used by the Annotation Diff tool.
AnnotationDiffer.PairingOffsetComparator	Compares two choices based on start offset of key (or response if key not present) and type if offsets are equal.
AnnotationDiffer.PairingScoreComparator	Compares two pairings: the better score is preferred; for the same score the better type is preferred (exact matches are preffered to partial ones).

Err	Shorthand for the System.err.print and println methods.
ExtensionFileFilter	Implementation of a file filter This class is used by JFileChooser to filter the displayed files by their extension.
Files	Some utilities for use with Files and with resources.
GateClassLoader	GATE's class loader, which allows loading of classes over the net.
HashMapLong	simple cut-off version of the hashmap with native long's as keys only get,put and isEmpty methods are implemented().
HtmlLinksExtractor	This class extracts links from HTML files.
Jacl	This class provides access to the Jacl Tcl interpreter, and caters for loading any Tcl scripts that live in the GATE source.

Javac	This class compiles a set of java sources using the user's preferred Java compiler.
LaxErrorHandler
NameComparator	Compares NameBearers by name (string comparation)
ObjectComparator	A Comparator implementation for Object values.
ObjectPool	A generic implementation of pool of references to objects of any kind.
ObjectWriter	Writes an object to an PipedOutputStream wich can be connected to a PipedInputStream.
OffsetComparator	Compares annotations by start offset
OptionsMap	A map that stores values as strings and provides support for converting some frequently used types to and from string

Out	Shorthand for the System.out.print and println methods.
Pair
ProgressPrinter	Class used to simulate the behaviour of a progress bar on an OutputStream.
RawEditorKit	This class provides an editor kit that does not change \n\r to \n but instead it leaves the original text as is.
RBTreeMap	Slightly modified implementation of java.util.TreeMap in order to return the closest neighbours in the case of a failed search.
ReloadingClassLoader
Restriction
Scratch	A scratch pad for experimenting.
Scratch.ContentPropertyReader
SimpleArraySet	A specific *partial* implementation of the Set interface used for high performance and memory reduction on small sets.
SimpleFeatureMapImpl	Simple case of features.
SimpleSortedSet	The purpose of this Map is to combine the functionality found in TreeSet, especially first() and tailSet() with the hashcode driven map using native long as key to hold the annotations ordered by their offset.
Strings	Some utilities for use with Strings.
TemplateLaxErrorHandler
TestBumpyStack	BumpyStack test class.
TestDiffer
TestEqual	This class provides some static utility methods such as equality test for annotation sets and documents.

TestJacl	Tests for the Jacl class
TestJavac
TestRBTreeMap	Tests for the RBTreeMap class
TestReload
TestTemplate	Template test class - to add a new part of the test suite: copy this class and change "Template" to the name of the new tests; add a line to TestGate.java in the suite method referencing your new class; add test methods to this class.
Tools
WeakBumpyStack	Weak stack that allow you to bump an element to the front.

Exception Summary

DocumentFormatException	This exception can be used to catch any internal exception thrown by the DocumentFormat class and its subbclasses.
GateException	A superclass for exceptions in the GATE packages.
GateRuntimeException	Exception used to signal a runtime exception within Gate.
GateSaxException	An inherited class from SAX exception in the GATE packages.
InvalidDatabaseException	Used to signal an attempt to connect to a database in an invalid format, that is a database tha does not have the right structure (see Gate2 documentation for details on required database structure).
InvalidOffsetException	Used to signal an attempt to create a node with an invalid offset.
LazyProgrammerException	What to throw in a method that hasn't been implemented yet.
LuckyException	This exception is intended to be used in places where there definitely shouldn't be any exceptions thrown but the API requires us to catch some, eg: try{ if( a !
MethodNotImplementedException
NoSuchObjectException	Raised when there is an attempt to read an inexistant object from the database(i.e. when an invalid object ID occurs).
OpenTransactionsException	Used to signal an attempt to close all connections to a database while there are still connections in use by the clients of that database.
