Adding a New Component

This is not an all-encompassing list. Please add to the list as appropriate

• Consider whether you should start a [DISCUSS] thread on dev@ctakes
• Create JIRA ticket for new component, such as "Add XYZ component which does ABC"
• If there are new resources that should go in a separate project, create a ctakes-YOUR-NEW-COMPONENT-res project
• Update your local copy of the (main project) pom.xml for ctakes
• Create new page under the Component Use Guide page on the Wiki
• Add the component to list of components in JIRA
• Create regression test for the new component; see the following
  • CTAKES-166
  • mailing list thread "cTAKES Testing (CTAKES-84)"
• When you are ready to share the component with others:
  • Check in your changes to the (main project) pom.xml for ctakes
  • Update the assembly/bin.xml and assembly/src.xml files within ctakes-distribution
• Update the dependency diagram on the Component Use Guide page (for the upcoming release) on the Wiki
