Thanks!

That helps a lot. I was actually expecting that the CasEditor would
let me edit the text of the documents and then specify annotations
with a context menu (or something like that) so it never occurred to
me to try pressing <enter> to create an annotation.

For what it's worth, if I run eclipse with nothing but the runtime jar
in the dropins folder, I don't get a lot of the views (perhaps *none*
of the views?) for the Cas Editor.
