It largely depends on how you use the ConceptMapper. External resources =
require three things to work:

1) an external resource description
2) a declaration on the analysis engine that it accepts an external =
resource (a dependency)
3) a binding binding between the two

Since the ConceptMapper is not an uimaFIT component, i.e. it is not =
using the @ExternalResource annotation, uimaFIT cannot create 1 =
automatically. So you can create it manually using =
createDependencyAndBind(), which performs steps 2 (using the =
createDependency() call) and 3 (using a bindResource() call). Of course, =
you can also manually call createDependency() and bindResource() =
separately - which I think you were asking for.

If just pass the external resource description to the =
createEngineDescription() call, it only does 3, but not 2 - this =
approach only works if the AE you create the descriptor for uses the =
@ExternalResource annotation to declare external resources.
