How is this different from what aggregates are for?

I've been thinking a bit more about this part. It looks intriguingly simple=
, but its not as straight as with the external resources. When a analysis e=
ngine descriptor is created with uimaFIT factories, I want it to be self-co=
ntained. Unfortunately, there is no good place where auxiliary analysis eng=
ine descriptors could be stored in an AnalysisEngineDescription, in particu=
lar a place from where the data could be accessed and injected into a compo=
nent. The straight-forward way of just serializing the descriptor into XML =
and passing that as a String parameter would work, but it's so ugly that I =
don't even want to consider implementing that... just imagine what would ha=
ppen if that descriptor is opened in the Eclipse component editor.

I've opened an uimaFIT issue though - just in case.
