Hi.
Using UIMAFit, is it possible to create a single instance of an
external-resource, and use it in several AEs, that are not connected to
each other?

They are *not* combined in an aggregate AE. They are totally independent.
Each AE runs in a different thread, and processes different document. But
they both need the same resource.

What I've realized is that every call to
AnalysisEngineFactory.createEngine(), with the analysis engine description
creates new instances of the external resources, even though the resources
descriptions is shared among the AEs when created by
AnalysisEngineFactory.createEngineDescription().

Thanks in advance,
Asher
